IP: Do the New Patent Office Trials Really Make Patent Litigation Cheaper?
Reviewing cost effectiveness of America Invents’ Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) inter partes review (IPR) actions for patent invalidity.
February 05, 2014
Patent litigation is famously expensive. The issues are complex, high-priced experts are often a must, and the process can take years. And just when you think the multi-million dollar ride will stop, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals can change the claim construction and remand the case for another trial. One of the promises of the America Invents Act was to change all that by offering streamlined litigation on the validity of the patent in the patent office as an alternative to district court litigation. Now, about 18 months into the experiment, it is fair to ask whether patent litigation is becoming more cost effective. The answer inside counsel may not want to hear is sometimes yes, but on average, probably not much.
