High-Stakes Patent Protection at the PTAB
Bochner PLLC protects and enhances the value of our clients’ innovations and designs in high-stakes, post-grant proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). We have a proven record of defending our clients and prevailing against the world's largest and most well-funded adversaries.
A Proven Record of Success
Our results speak for themselves. We successfully defended a first-in-class medical device innovator against patent challenges from Apple, securing our client’s groundbreaking atrial fibrillation monitoring technology.
We also have extensive experience protecting clients from aggressive tactics by international competitors, invalidating infringing patents to protect their market share on platforms like Amazon. This is a critical and growing issue for brands, and our team is adept at navigating these complex disputes.
A Smarter, More Efficient Path
Post-grant proceedings at the PTAB offer a faster, more cost-effective alternative to protracted district court litigation. These forums allow clients to efficiently challenge infringing patents, stay costly litigation, or gain leverage in high-stakes license negotiations. We frequently advise clients to utilize this route to achieve a better, faster resolution.
Comprehensive Post-Grant Capabilities
Our counsel extends to every facet of post-grant strategy. We provide critical patent validity, noninfringement, and freedom-to-operate (FTO) opinions and are deeply experienced in all PTAB proceedings, including:
- Inter Partes Review (IPR)
- Post-Grant Review (PGR)
- Ex Parte Reexaminations (EPRx)
- Supplemental Examinations & Reissue Applications
