Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is pleased to present our 2023 PTAB Year in Review. We begin with a review of 2023 petition filings and outcomes at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We then provide a summary of notable developments at the PTAB, including recent precedential and director review decisions. Next, we explore several appellate decisions relevant to PTAB trials. After that, we examine potential trends regarding motions to exclude and secondary considerations. Finally, we provide an update on discretionary denials of institution for parallel litigation.
