Technology L.L.C., seeking to terminate four separate IPR proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) as unconstitutional. The petition asserts that allowing the proceedings to continue would violate B.E. Technology\u2019s property rights in the challenged patents, without due process of law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe USPTO\u2019s inner machinations have rendered adjudications before the PTAB so profoundly unfair and biased against independent inventors,\u201d that they don\u2019t even \u201cstand a chance at a fair trial\u201d against their \u201cBig Tech\u201d adversaries in IPR proceedings, states the petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAlthough <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/ip-law\/patent-board-bias-issues-left-alone-as-case-gets-arthrex-remand?context=article-related\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other litigants<\/a> have raised various constitutional concerns about the legitimacy of adjudications before the PTAB, none of those other cases to date has fully considered or addressed the myriad violations of patent owners\u2019 constitutional due process rights that are presently occurring at all stages of IPR proceedings,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pollockcohen.com\/agatha-cole\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Agatha Cole<\/a> of Pollock Cohen LLP in New York, who represents B.E. Technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/ip-law\/divided-federal-circuit-panel-rejects-patent-board-bias-attacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mobility Workx<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>for example\u2014which was decided by the Federal Circuit last month\u2014the Court rejected another due process challenge based on the claim that the PTAB\u2019s institution decisions are biased due to a fee-structure that only allows the agency to retain the full amount of IPR filing fees when it grants the petition to institute proceedings. \u201cWe looked at that decision and thought \u2018Wow, that\u2019s really only part of the story here,\u2019\u201d said Ms. Cole. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot more going on here than just the improper financial incentives that have been put in place for APJs to institute proceedings.\u201d \u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing is a host of other issues that ultimately tilt the scales in favor of large and well-established \u2018Big Tech\u2019 industry players and against the independent inventors whose patents are being attacked in these proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">B.E. Technology contends that the impartiality of APJs who preside over IPR proceedings \u201cis mired by improper financial incentives\u201d that affect not only the institution stage, but all other substantive aspects of IPR proceedings thereafter as well. Among other things, the petition cites evidence that APJs receive outcome-driven bonus payments that amount to more than $300 per decision for the cancellation of a patent, as compared to only $2 per decision for upholding the challenged patent in IPR proceedings. \u201cWhether intentional or not, [these] \u2018performance-based\u2019 bonuses have consistently been implemented in a manner that rewards the cancellation of patents, while discouraging APJs from upholding the patent rights of independent inventors,\u201d states the petition. In addition, \u201cUSPTO leadership has utilized these bonus incentives as an indirect means of exerting undue influence over adjudicative outcomes, by refusing to allow \u2018productivity\u2019 credits for dissenting or concurring opinions,\u201d thereby \u201cartificially manufacturing decisional uniformity among three-member panels\u201d and resulting in an especially high percentage (approximately 98%) of unanimous opinions in IPR proceedings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The petition also cites evidence that the USPTO\u2019s leadership \u201cabuses its case-assignment authority to selectively staff APJs to specific cases based on their perceived propensity for ruling a certain way, and to \u2018stack\u2019 APJ panels for the purpose of achieving specific adjudicative outcomes.\u201d And if their objectives still aren\u2019t met, then \u201cthe decision can essentially be re-written by a secret extra-judicial review panel\u201d called the AIA Review Committee, which has been improperly authorized to \u201creview, edit, and change adjudicative outcomes\u2014irrespective of the merits of the case presented before the original three-member APJ panel,\u201d the petition contends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These \u201cshenanigans\u201d have \u201crendered IPR proceedings into meaningless \u2018show trials,\u2019 that only serve to provide cover for the political decisions of those in power,\u201d said Ms. Cole. \u201cThe status quo is completely untenable for the independent inventors who are being dragged into these proceedings by \u2018Big Tech\u2019 companies and their allies\u2014not to mention, unconstitutional,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s so abundantly clear that the system is being manipulated in a way that benefits these large and politically powerful industry giants in seeking to further their monopolistic interests by eliminating competition from independent inventors. And that ultimately harms the public because it stifles innovation and hurts our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are hopeful that the Federal Circuit will put an end to these offensive practices, and allow our client to proceed with the patent litigation before a federal district court, rather than having to proceed through this Kafkaesque nightmare that the PTAB has implemented,\u201d said Ms. Cole. The related patent infringement case that is pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware was stayed several months ago, pending the outcome of the IPR proceedings. If the Federal Circuit terminates those proceedings, then B.E. Technology would go back to adjudicating the validity of its patents before the district court, where it will at least have a \u201cfair shake,\u201d said its attorney.<\/p>\n<div
