Passage of the America Invents Act (AIA) of 2011 ushered in a number of changes to the U.S. patent system, including new rules that expand opportunities for challenging patents after they are granted. Specialized procedural knowledge is essential to fully leverage these opportunities. L&A has proven expertise in this area, whether you are challenging another party’s patent or looking to strengthen a patent previously granted to you.
