In addition to our experience in federal courts, McHale | Slavin’s litigation attorneys are experienced in the quasi-judicial proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), including inter partes review and appeals from patent prosecution and ex parte reexaminations; and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“TTAB”), including opposition and cancellation proceedings.
These Board proceedings are litigated before panels of adminstrative judges to address the validity of patents and trademark registrations. Such proceedings often cooperate with ongoing federal court litigation, or can materially affect related federal court litigation, and need to be considered when addressing a complete litigation strategy.
