Post-Grant Proceedings

Challenging a troublesome patent after it issues may effectively remove that patent as an obstacle to opportunities in new product markets. By undertaking a post-grant proceeding, a troublesome patent may be narrowed or invalidated, license negotiations may be accelerated, and/or litigation may be avoided. Alternatively, when initiated by a patent owner, post-grant proceedings may strengthen an issued patent by resolving questions about the scope or validity of the patent. The patent emerging from the post-grant proceeding may be asserted more confidently in litigation, or be more desirable for license by an interested party.
