PTAB decision note

CBS Interactive v. Helferich Patent Licensing

CBS Interactive, Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC is a Patent Trial and Appeal Board proceeding grouped with the Board’s representative notices. Notices are the routine papers the Board issues while managing an AIA trial, such as a notice of filing date accorded or a notice that a petition is incomplete, as distinct from decisions on the merits.

A notice of filing date accorded starts the patent owner’s period for a preliminary response; a notice of an incomplete or defective petition gives the petitioner a short time to correct it. See the basics of an IPR petition and the inter partes review guide.
