We have released a series of “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)”
about the implications of SAS on AIA trial proceedings. These FAQs were based upon questions received from the public and are grouped
into five categories as follows:
A. Effect of SAS on
AIA proceedings generally.
B. Effect of SAS on
on-going partially-instituted proceedings.
C. Effect
of SAS on instituted challenges previously denied for statutory reasons.
D. Effect
of SAS on future challenges that could be denied for statutory reasons.
E. Content
of institution decisions post-SAS.
F. For
additional questions about SAS.
The FAQs are intended to
provide additional information about how the agency is applying SAS to
AIA trial proceedings. These SAS FAQs will be updated
periodically, so please continue to submit your questions to trials@uspto.gov.
