Talk:Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences

message: Although technically true that this court was renamed, it was much more than that.  The Patent Trial and Appeal Board is quite different in nature than the old BPAI. For example the PTAB has IPR, CBM, PGR, and derivation proceedings that the BPAI never had.  In addition, the BPAI had inter partes reexam and interference proceedings that the PTAB does not have. We need to create a new page for the PTAB and clearly indicate that this one no longer exists.

thread_title: unconstitutionally appointed judges

message: Can you actually appeal from the BPAI to a district court under 35 USC 145? The statute just says appeal to the Federal Circuit or civil suit against the director in the DC District Court, not district courts in general... Cquan (after the beep...) 01:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, my reading of 141 and 145 doesn't show you can appeal a BPAI decision to anyone besides the Federal Circuit. The civil suit in the DC district court is not an appeal and I don't see how a district court can have any kind of appellate jurisdiction anyway (nor does a district court besides DC have personal jurisdiction over the USPTO or officers thereof). I went ahead and edited the appeals procedure to reflect this, but feel free to correct (preferably with sources since I'm curious to know) if necessary.

thread_title: Appeals from BPAI

message: The name of this administrative court has changed. Should we change the name of the article? Or create a new article under the new name? 
Is there a procedure for "formerly named" titles? Something like: 
"Patent Trial and Appeal Board (formerly Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences)"

replies: text: I think the best way is to have the "PTAB" page include a link back to the "BPAI" page right under the Main Title.  I added a sentence on the USPTO page describing the change over.  If you search Patent and Trademark Office Appeals Board, you merely get redirected to BPAI.  That redirect has to be eliminated also.Saltwolf (talk) 22:48, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
