Patent Interferences
Our attorneys have extensive experience in patent interference practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board, and its predecessor court, the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences. From pre-filing strategy through final judgment, our patent interference practice is procedurally intense and vitally important.
