LAW-2978 Patent Law: Post Grant Practice
Mr. Cory Bell,
2 credits day; 2 credits evening.
This course will cover the procedures and skills needed to challenge patent validity at the U.S.
Patent and Trademark office, including Post-Grant Review and Inter Partes Review. The course
will track the entire process: beginning with advising clients on the strategic advantages of each
type of proceeding and ending with oral arguments before a mock Patent Trials and Appeal
Board. Each class will contain a short lecture and time for groups to work on class assignments.
The grading will be based on a combination of participation, assignment grades, and teammate
evaluations.
