Podcasts about inter partes review

In this episode of the Post-Grant Podcast, Andy Zappia, Nick Gallo, and Bryan Smith explore the evolving landscape of estoppel in inter partes review (IPR) and post-grant review (PGR) proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The discussion centers around the recent Federal Circuit decision in the Ingenico case, which narrows the scope of IPR estoppel, and its potential tension with the PTAB's current approach to discretionary denial. The team delves into the implications of this decision for patent challengers, particularly in light of new PTAB guidance and recent cases that highlight the complexities of navigating estoppel and discretionary denial.

Last month, I posted a detailed breakdown of Inter Partes Review statistics relating to petitions filed by self-proclaimed ‘Anti-Troll’ Unified Patents. While I highly recommend you read that post, a few of the highlights for convenience: A paltry 34% institution rate (compared to about 71% for the PTAB overall) An Institution:Denial ratio less than one A substantially higher settlement rate than average Google Buys Academic to Support Their Anti-Patent Agenda The Wall Street Journal article exposing Google for paying for academic research that “independently” supports their anti-patent agenda.

In part two of the episode, David, Imran, and Pam examine the general IPR timeline, petition terminations, risks for filers, and results.
