PTAB: The “Patent Death Squad”

PTAB: The “Patent Death Squad”

Description

Chris Israel, Executive Director of Alliance of U.S. Startups and Inventors for Jobs, discusses how the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB) has failed to accomplish its intended purpose, multiplying proceedings and costs for inventors and startups rather than curb unnecessary litigation, and several pieces of pending legislation in Congress – including the PREVAIL Act, PERA, and RESTORE Act – that would help restore some balance and fairness at PTAB and reestablish the presumption of injunctive relief to patent owners who are facing infringement.
