SUPPORTING ORGANISATION

INTRODUCTIONThe introduction of the America Invents Act has revolutionised the patent litigation sys-tem and with over five years in practice, there is no doubt that the Patent Trial andAppeal Board has had a colossal impact on the global patent landscape. However,due to the current complex and unpredictable environment, patent owners need toensure their portfolio is flexible and robust to manage any uncertainties which couldarise from the Supreme Court review of constitutionality.

Building awareness of the latest developments from decision to practice, the MIP PTABForum 2018 will contemplate key issues and provide strategic, innovative recommen-dations for future proceedings. Topics will be include: lessons learned and tips forfuture success; evolving procedural challenges associated with AIA; influences on fil-ings, success rates and identifying what is working well; decoding recent decisions;and examination of the future of the PTAB.

The MIP PTAB Forum 2018 is an opportunity to debate the key issues that are influ-encing PTAB proceedings, and to hear from world leaders in corporations, govern-ment officials and legal experts on implementing winning strategies to overcome com-plex issues and the changing AIA landscape.
