Example Comments:
“The PTAB has harmed inventors. I appreciate efforts to improve the PTAB, but this proposal falls significantly short of that.
As a member of US Inventor, we are key innovators who rely on strong patent rights to bring new products to market. To promote innovation and economic growth, I urge the USPTO to modify PTAB rules to reduce inter partes reviews (IPRs) that favor petitioners, thereby strengthening U.S. patent rights. Specifically, I oppose changes that ease petitioners’ challenges, advocates for limiting serial and parallel petitions, and prefers broader discretionary denial applications to protect inventors. These changes will enhance patent reliability, encouraging investment and maintaining U.S. technological leadership.”
