Automated Creel Systems<\/em> is the latest to touch an important issue for companies involved in post-grant proceedings and related litigation: what happens to the claims and prior art references that are left on the cutting room floor after the PTAB institutes a review on just some of the issues raised in a petition?<\/p>\n<p><em>Shaw Industries<\/em> appears to be the first time the Federal Circuit is on record agreeing with the PTAB\u2019s policy that issues that are not instituted are not subject to estoppel either at the PTAB or in district court. This clarification may well allow petitioners to take a more liberal strategy to including matters in their petition.<\/p>\n<p>But the <em>Shaw Industries<\/em> case also highlights concerns of some Federal Circuit judges. Judge Reyna in a concurrence sharply criticized the PTAB for saying it is not obligated to even state a reason for its decisions on whether to institute inter partes reviews. \u201cThe PTO\u2019s claim to unchecked discretionary authority is unprecedented,\u201d and appears to disregard the Administrative Procedures Act, Judge Reyna wrote.
