Inter Partes Review

What is an IPR?

Inter partes review (IPR) is a post-grant review proceeding that allows a party to challenge the validity of a patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). IPR is a relatively new procedure, having been created by the America Invents Act in 2011.

IPR is a more cost-effective and efficient way to challenge the validity of a patent than traditional litigation, though IPR and traditional litigation often go hand-in-hand. IPR proceedings are conducted before a three-member panel of administrative judges, and proceedings can result in patent invalidation.
