2024 PTAB Bar Association Thought Leader Summit - October 10, 2024



The PTAB Bar Association Thought Leader Summit Bi-Coastal event at the USPTO Alexandria, VA, and the USPTO San Jose, CA, on October 10, 2024, was a success! Both venues were sold out! Attendees heard from panel of distinguished USPTO speakers and industry leaders on recent rulemaking efforts and updates from the USPTO.  In the small group discussions, attendees discussed topics such as Inherency Issues, Petitions in Joint Defense Litigation, and Obviousness Analysis.  And, new this year, experts and attendees discussed issues of Hearings, Ex Parte Appeals, Claim Amendment, and other topics during the Expertise Expo session. The programming was followed by wonderful opportunities to network with peers and colleagues at receptions offered in both venues.
