PTAB: no longer a death squad

Peter Chen is quoted in a World Intellectual Property Review article examining the current landscape of the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

Commenting on how parties can improve their chances at the PTAB, Chen says that in many AIA trials, claim construction is a dispositive issue. “Parties should carefully analyze whether and how to propose constructions for key terms in the challenged claims." He adds that they should also supply relevant evidence.
