Patent Board Rules Get Extra Time for Inventor Feedback

Published Date: 11/6/2025

Proposed Rule

Summary

The USPTO is updating the rules for how people handle patent disputes and appeals. They’ve extended the time to share thoughts on these changes until December 2, 2025, so everyone has a fair chance to weigh in. This affects inventors, lawyers, and companies involved in patent trials and could speed up or clarify the process, potentially saving time and money.
