Two years ago, the PTAB denied about a third of IPR petitions; today it denies nearly two-thirds — and filings have collapsed from roughly 185 in a single quarter to 15 in a single month. So what happens to your invalidity case when the Patent Office is no longer a realistic venue? In this webcast, Debbie McComas, partner in Haynes Boone's litigation department and past chair of the firm's Federal Circuit Practice Group, and Stephanie Sivinski, partner in Haynes Boone's patent trial group in Dallas, walk through what patent litigators should be doing right now — from ex parte reexams and stays to claim construction tension, expert selection, and system art. This conversation is candid, practical, and refreshingly willing to disagree in public about what actually works in front of a jury.

Speaker(s):
Debbie McComas, Partner, Chair of the Federal Circuit Practice Group, Co-Chair of the Community Engagement Committee, Haynes Boone
Stephanie Sivinski, Partner, Haynes Boone
