Today, we\u2019ll discuss how errors by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) may affect legitimate patents.<\/p><div><div><div><div><div><h2>Differences Between the PTAB and the Courts<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><p dir=\"ltr\">According to IP Watchdog, the PTAB has an error rate of 76% when compared to the results of the courts. For example, the courts upheld 220 patents that were waiting for the PTAB\u2019s final written decision. The PTAB only agreed with the courts on 52 of these patents, while disagreeing with the other 168 patents. The courts are considered the gold standard because of their thorough and complete adjudication, which is why this is troubling.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">There are important differences between the courts and the PTAB. In general, the PTAB has only two grounds of attack for declaring a patent valid or invalid, 35 U.S.C. \u00a7103 for non-obviousness and 35 U.S.C. \u00a7102 for novelty. However, the courts have four grounds available adding 35 U.S.C. \u00a7112 for specification and 35 U.S.C. \u00a7101 for basic patentability. Before applying for litigation graphics support and drafting their patent claim, inventors need to understand how the PTAB operates to ensure their rights are protected.<\/p><h2 dir=\"ltr\">Legal Advantage\u2019s Services<\/h2><p dir=\"ltr\">Legal Advantage helps inventors and patent owners through our legal support services.
