Abstract

The article compares the litigation performance of district courts with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) as to patent invalidity cases. Topics discussed include factors to consider when choosing between court and PTO including time of decision, cost, issues to consider, discovery, burden of proof, claim construction and ability to amend claims. Data shows that PTO litigation is faster but it remains to be seen whether its challenger success rate can top that of the district courts.
