Kit Crumbley will speak at the American Intellectual Property Law Association’s 2025 Annual Meeting. He will join a panel discussing key operational and procedural developments at the PTAB in 2025, including the impact of the Director’s bifurcation memo and interim discretionary denial process. The panel will examine how these changes—along with staffing reductions and increased scrutiny of petition timing and conduct—have reshaped PTAB practice, lowered institution rates, and prompted strategic shifts in patent litigation. Panelists will also review emerging case law on discretionary denial factors, recent precedential rulings affecting multiple petition strategies and prior art standards, and the broader implications for forum selection and patent enforcement.
