Inter-Partes Review (IPR) was designed to be a cost-effective
alternative to litigation. Legislative history states that the IPR
process "will allow invalid patents that were mistakenly
issued by the USPTO to be fixed in their life, before they disrupt
an entire industry or result in expensive litigation." 157
Cong. Rec. S1326 (daily ed. Mar. 7, 2011) (statement of Sen.
Sessions). With an expedited schedule, individuals can expect a
final written decision within 12-18 months.
In the first part of a two part episode, partner
David C. Gryce speaks with partners
Imran Khaliq and
Pamela Fulmer on details of Inter-Partes Review including
discussions on filing requirements, standards for granting IPRs,
