Decisions to institute an AIA trial will be split between discretionary considerations and the merits under new USPTO procedures to manage the PTAB’s workload.
The rescission and replacement of guidance has introduced some uncertainty into discretionary denials that litigants should be mindful of during the institution stage of AIA trials.
