THEODORE O. ROGERS JR.: Thanks. I have the pleasure of being able to kick us off here. We're going to in about an hour and a quarter try to run through the whole gamut as an overview of Federal employment laws. We're not going to try to get into the state of the city level, but you can assume that at least in New York but also in virtually every other state there's a whole set of statutes that are quite similar to the Federal ones we'll be talking ...

WILLIS J.GOLDSMITH: So as, I think, Zach and Peter are going to arrange themselves, we're now going to move right to the panel on The Nuts and Bolts of Traditional Labor Law. That is a law under the National Labor Relations Act. Even though union density has decreased, as all the data show, over the last 10 or 12 or 15 years to really the lowest percentage of union represented workers in the private sector probably since the '30s, the importance ...

SCOTT A. MCKEOWN: So continuing on. And Dave's a tough act to follow, but again we're very happy to have him here. I think we got the benefit of both the PTO slides and Dave's insight, which is great. So tough act to follow. So what I want to do in this next hour is a little bit just try to pull everything together in terms of the mechanics of these procedures. And I'm not going to get into the mechanics too much other than at a very high level, ...

SCOTT: Welcome back, everybody. We're going to get started so we can get everybody to lunch on time. So the next module is focusing on discovery, which is a new component of these PTAB mechanisms. There was, as we all learned recently thanks to the federal circuit case last week, there's certainly no discovery in inter partes reexamination. And that was pointed out by Congress, that patent owners, in particular, wanted to challenge some of these declarations ...

ROB STERNE: And we're very, very fortunate to have Dave Kappos, who recently stepped down from being our director at the PTO.

ROBERT GREENE STERNE: Well, welcome again, and now we're going to be addressing the very important subject of appeals from the Board to the Federal Circuit, something that I think a lot of us are woefully deficient in our appreciation of the task at hand, and we need to get up to speed on this very important piece of the puzzle. So as we start this panel discussion, first of all, let me introduce John Dragseth, who is our other faculty member, in ...

SCOTT MCKEOWN: Welcome back, everybody. We're ready to kick off the afternoon session. But before we do, we did have one question that came in late. And that question was, must an IPR petition be accompanied by an expert declaration? For example, the questioner wants to know if you have clear disclosures in the prior art, maybe you can just come in without the declaration. The short answer is of course there's no requirement that you file a declaration. ...

DANIEL L. REISNER: Morning, everyone. I'm going to start with the first topic of the day, which is claim construction. Judge Holderman, about five years ago, wrote, something has to change when your boss, upon reviewing your work, continues to tell you, year after year, that you are doing your job incorrectly about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time, and your customers continue to tell you their costs are too high. Judge Holderman was speaking about the Federal ...
