Intellectual Property Law Association of Chicago : One at a Time: Fintiv Discretionary Denials & Motions to Stay

Ever since the AIA was enacted, patent disputes have often involved proceedings in both the PTAB and district courts. Because of this, parties are often looking to stop or pause one of the proceedings, so they can focus on the proceeding that they believe is more advantageous to them. Please join a panel featuring Michelle Aspen (Senior Patent Counsel at Unified Patents), Hersh Mehta (Senior IP Litigation Counsel at Hewlett Packard), and Ray Ricordati (Special Counsel at Marshall Gerstein), and moderated by Joshua James (Counsel at Crowell & Moring), for a discussion regarding best practices for dealing with discretionary denials at the PTAB and motions to stay in district courts.
