PTAB to Discuss “Interim” Bifurcation
Boardside Chat This Thursday
The PTAB will host its next Boardside Chat webinar on Thursday, April 17, noon to 1 p.m. ET, for a discussion of the new interim processes for PTAB workload management. The new processes concern institution of AIA trial proceedings and bifurcation of discretionary considerations from merits and other non-discretionary institution considerations.
The new interim processes were announced on March 26, 2025. The Board will discuss more details about the processes and a question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. (Register Here)
As always, you can send questions in advance or during the webinar to PTABBoardsideChat@USPTO.gov.
