PTAB Chair Addresses Full Federal Circuit IPR One-Year Time-Bar Decision
Intellectual property litigation partner and PTAB chair Scott McKeown (Washington, D.C.) was quoted in Jan. 9 articles published in Managing Intellectual Property and Law.com’s Skilled in the Art addressing the full Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision holding that the one-year time-bar for instituting inter partes review proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board under Section 315(b) are appealable in the Wi-Fi One v. Broadcom decision.
Mr. McKeown notes that the Federal Circuit’s ruling offers an option for parties who are dissatisfied with a PTAB’s final written decision in an IPR proceeding to attack the PTAB’s rulings.
