In FY2014, more than 1,300 IPR requests were filed at the Patent
Office and in FY2015, more than 1,600. While the Patent Trial and
Appeal Board has been expeditiously handling these proceedings, a
question has been looming over what would happen when the wave of
appeals from adverse decisions hits the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit, which is the court having exclusive
jurisdiction over appeals from IPR decisions. Will it be a tsunami,
a gentle lapping of the waves, or something in between? An analysis
of the number of IPR appeals at the Federal Circuit can be found on
Finnegan's
Federal Circuit IP Blog.
