The PTAB Strategies and Insights newsletter provides timely updates and insights into how best to handle post-grant proceedings at the USPTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board. It is designed to increase return on investment for all stakeholders looking at the entire patent life cycle in a global portfolio.

This month, we cover three topics:

- Tips and strategies to make effective use of depositions in PTAB proceedings;

- Patent prosecution strategies that result in patents that are resilient and able to withstand challenges at the PTAB;

- A discussion of the Board's 'informative' ruling in Western Digital v. SPEX Technologies that provides guidance for those pursuing motions to amend within a PTAB proceeding (i.e., post-Aqua guidance).
