During the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) Boardside Chat on July 7, 2022, discussion focused on Director Katherine Vidal’s interim guidance on discretionary denials under the Board’s precedential Apple v. Fintiv decision. The event’s speaker panel included Michael Tierney (Acting Deputy Chief Administrative Patent Judge) and Michael Kim (Vice Chief Administrative Patent Judge).
