The America Invents Act (AIA) of 2011 authorized the creation of a set of administrative trials (AIA Trials), including Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings, Post Grant Review (PGR) proceedings and transitional Covered Business Method Review (CBM) proceedings. In each of these proceedings, anyone can file a petition to challenge an issued patent, and, after instituting the trial, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) will decide whether the challenged claims should be confirmed or cancelled.
