What is an Inter Partes Review?

Inter partes review is a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to review the patentability of one or more claims in a patent only on a ground that could be raised under §§ 102 or 103, and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications. For more information on the inter partes review process see our Inter Partes Review web page.
