On Tuesday, October 28 at 12 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Central, partner Art Gollwitzer will join a distinguished panel hosted by the Federalist Society to discuss the future of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) under the America Invents Act (AIA). The webinar, titled SAP, Motorola, and the Future of PTAB Reform, will explore recent developments in Inter Partes Review (IPR) procedures, including the policy shift under PTO Director John Squires.

Gollwitzer will be joined by Jamie Simpson, Chief Policy Officer at the Council for Innovation Promotion, and Robert P. Taylor, Founder of RPT Legal Strategies PC. The panel will be moderated by Philip M. Nelson of Knobbe Martens.

The discussion will center on the implications of declining IPR institution rates, the PTO’s proposed waiver rules, and constitutional questions surrounding patent adjudication. With companies like SAP America and Motorola voicing concerns over the PTO’s new direction, this webinar promises a lively and insightful debate.

Register for the webinar on The Federalist Society’s website.
