It was an honor to host a happy hour after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) roadshow, in conjunction with The Honorable Nancy F. Atlas Intellectual Property American Inn of Court. As a community of IP professionals, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to hear from PTAB judges on best practices to succeed in an ex parte appeal.

Chief Judge Scott Boalick, Judge Georgianna Braden and Judge Ifti Ahmed shared valuable insights on effectively arguing (both written and oral) against a patent examiner’s rejections.

Thank you for your visit and for your ongoing dedication to advancing the field of intellectual property.
