McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP will be offering a live webinar entitled "PTAB Top Stories 2020: Discretionary Denials, Motions to Amend, and Arthrex, Oh My!" on November 18, 2020 from 10:00 am to 11:15 am (CT). In this presentation, MBHB attorneys James Lovsin and George "Trey" Lyons, III will take a look at four key topics concerning AIA Trial Proceedings that should be at the forefront of every PTAB practitioner's renewed focus this year, including:
• Discretionary Denials: What are Patent Owner strategies for obtaining discretionary denials? What are Petitioner strategies for avoiding them?
• Motions to Amend: What benefit (or not) does the Patent Owner get for participating in the motion to amend pilot program? Can the Petitioner rely on the PTAB to present its own grounds to oppose the motions to amend? What are strategies for § 101 challenges to motions to amend?
• Constitutionality: What are the updates and potential outcomes/impacts from Supreme Court action in Arthrex?
• Appealability: What procedural issues are reviewable after Thryv and Windy City?
While there is no fee to participate, attendees must register in advance. Those wishing to register can do so here. CLE credit is pending for the states of California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia.
