Event Overview

Proceedings before the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) are often likened to oppositions before the EPO.  However, there are many differences between the two types of proceedings and practitioners must adopt different strategies in order to succeed.  Maeve O’Flynn and Josh Goldberg, Partners from Finnegan’s London and Washington DC offices, will compare the proceedings, and will address potential synergies and conflicts when proceedings are pending or anticipated in both jurisdictions.
