The post-grant phase is a pivotal moment when patents can face challenges, and SLW stands ready to defend your interests before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Post-grant proceedings, called IPRs (inter partes reviews), PGRs (post-grant reviews), and CBMs (covered business method reviews), are conducted by skilled administrative law judges who have both scientific and legal experience.
Our patent attorneys have brought their extensive technical and legal training to bear on numerous post-grant proceedings. Some have worked in industry as chief in-house patent counsel at Fortune 500 companies, and one served as the first Administrative Patent Judge for the Silicon Valley Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
