The Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office is hosting roundtables to share information about the new AIA trials (i.e., inter partes reviews, post grant reviews, covered business method reviews, and derivations) including statistics, lessons learned, and techniques for successful motions practice.  The Board is interested in receiving feedback about the trials and will feature a panel discussion to elicit public input.

The Roundtable is a free event and open to all with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.  No registration is required.

Registration is required for the reception.  Please register online for the reception.
