In their intellectual property litigation column, "Claim Amendments: Who Should Bear the Burden of Proving (Un)patentability?" litigation partner Lewis Clayton examines the question of who will bear the burden of proving that proposed new claims are unpatentable in future IPR proceedings. The column examines the potential impact of a pending appeal in Aqua Products and the current state of the law, and offers suggested guidelines for practitioners. The article appeared in the January 11 issue of the New York Law Journal.
