Post-Grant Proceedings:

Post-grant proceedings refer to legal processes handled by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) that occur after a patent has been granted. These proceedings are critical tools for both patent owners and challengers, allowing disputes over patent validity or scope to be resolved efficiently without resorting to full litigation.

With decades of experience, Schmeiser, Olsen is your partner for navigating the complexities of post-grant procedures, ensuring the protection of your intellectual property and business interests.

With our deep technical knowledge and strategic planning, we ensure your case is built on a strong foundation of evidence and legal arguments.
