Published August 29, 2025

On August 21st, Ryan Frei, Ph.D. and Cameron Clawson presented Delegation, Deference, and Denials: Evolving Administrative Law and USPTO Procedure.

The USPTO Director’s recent memos are colliding with a shifting Supreme Court administrative law landscape, reshaping how the PTAB handles discretionary denials and agency guidance. Miss these developments, and your litigation or IPR strategy could walk straight into a trap.

If you were unable to attend or would like to reference the materials, the presentation slides are available.
