The Innovation Alliance is calling on the Trump administration to finalize the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's proposed changes to Patent Trial and Appeal Board procedures. The request comes just before the one-year anniversary of the USPTO's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which outlined revisions to the board's rules of practice.
According to IPWatchdog, the Innovation Alliance's push is timed to that anniversary, signaling urgency after a year without a final rule. The group's position is that completing the rulemaking process is important for stakeholders who have been awaiting clarity on PTAB practice.
No opposing view is presented in the source, and the article does not detail the specific contents of the proposed changes or the administration's response. The report focuses solely on the Innovation Alliance's advocacy for finalization.
