The Impact of The PTAB’s Motion to Amend Pilot Program
Motions to amend have been part of America Invents Act trials since their inception. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office solicited public input on the motion to amend process, which was followed by a study by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The study led to changes implemented in a Pilot Program that began in March 2019.
