35 U.S.C. § 313 — Preliminary response to petition
submitted 27 years ago by Pub. L. 106-113 to r/title-35-PATENTS · 60 words · no verdicts yet
When someone files an inter partes review petition, the patent owner can file a preliminary response. This response argues why the review shouldn't start, because the petition fails some legal requirement. The Director sets the deadline for filing this response.
If an inter partes review petition is filed under section 311, the patent owner shall have the right to file a preliminary response to the petition, within a time period set by the Director, that sets forth reasons why no inter partes review should be instituted based upon the failure of the petition to meet any requirement of this chapter.
