The 2024 PTAB Bar Association Annual Conference will be held in person on March 6-8, 2024, at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C.  We will also offer all sessions live-streamed as a virtual component for those who are under a travel ban or would prefer to participate virtually.

The conference will bring together practitioners, in-house counsel, and members of the bench of the Patent Trial Appeal Board (PTAB) for three days of engaging and educational presentations and interactive discussions on best practices, recent developments and trends, policy considerations, and much more!

The Conference will feature APJ Day, with sessions led by the PTAB APJs including: a bootcamp for appeals to the PTAB, a question-and-answer session with responses to the most frequently asked questions, and a game show session testing participants’ knowledge of PTAB practice. Additional sessions such as: a dynamic discussion of real-parties-in -interest, DEI issues in the PTAB practice, ethics issues in artificial intelligence, a debate on obviousness with prominent academicians, and a session offering insights from the District Court bench will be offered at the Conference.

Networking opportunities with practitioners, in-house counsel, and PTAB judges will be offered throughout the Conference.
