Four Decades for Justice
May 04, 2020
Cravath partner Richard J. Stark authored an article entitled “Standing to Appeal IPR Decisions of the PTAB: Article III and the Federal Circuit” for the March/April 2020 edition of the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law’s Landslide magazine. The article discusses the hotly contested question of standing in inter partes review (“IPR”) when decisions from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board are appealed to the Federal Circuit. The article examines appellants’ burden in showing sufficient injury in fact and analyzes several cases as examples of when appellants may meet, or fail to meet, that standard.
