Recent rulings on sanctions at the PTAB have heightened attorneys’ awareness of the risks associated with pushing the boundaries of ethical behavior at the board. Director Eldora Ellison recently spoke to Law360, commenting “For anyone who might be inclined to engage in such misleading behavior, if they recognize that their misconduct could have a ripple effect across all of the challenged claims, and lead to a finding of unpatentability of all challenged claims — that’s of course a bigger deterrent.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/egiGEuBp #PTAB
