In a previous article titled "
Recent Decisions Shed Some Light on Scope of AIA
Estoppel," Finnegan attorneys
Barbara C. McCurdy and
Arpita Bhattacharyya discussed how the Patent Trial and
Appeal Board's (PTAB) practice of only addressing

Federal Circuit has provided some clarity on the merits of
this PTAB practice and its effect on the estoppel provision.
