Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings allow a petitioner to challenge the patentability of claims of a patent after its issuance by the United State Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Since IPRs became available in 2012 as part of the America Invents Act (AIA), they have become the most popular type of post grant proceeding. These proceedings are generally considered a less costly and more efficient alternative to patent challenges in federal court. Our team has a wealth of experience, having handled nearly 200 IPRs on behalf of patent owners as well as petitioners.

Our team includes technically savvy and seasoned trial lawyers who have practiced extensively before the USPTO. Our litigation experience, combined with our expansive science and technology backgrounds, make us uniquely qualified to handle our clients’ intellectual property needs—both before administrative tribunals as well as in parallel district court litigation—in ways that are effective in front of judges and jurors. In addition, we have deep knowledge of the inner workings of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the procedural intricacies involved in AIA proceedings.

When an IPR is not an appropriate part of our clients’ strategy, a Post-Grant Review (PGR) or Covered Business Method (CBM) review might be the right path. We also advise and represent companies in these proceedings to cost effectively challenge patentability and avoid costly litigation.
