How to use the PTAB Dashboard
What can I do with the PTAB Dashboard?
Using the PTAB Dashboard, you can search for decisions designated Precedential or Informative by the United States Patent Trial and Appeal Board that relate to inter partes reviews and post-grant reviews. The Dashboard provides summaries of the decisions, and an interface to search the summaries with keywords and filters.
How do I search in the PTAB Dashboard?
The PTAB Dashboard uses a simple keyword search.
Press Enter after each keyword. To search summaries of decisions, you must press Enter after each keyword.
Connectors. To the right of the search pane, you will see an “OR” or “AND” connector. You can select the appropriate connector for your search.
For example, if you wish to search for summaries of a decision that contain EITHER “patent” or “institution”, you would (1) type in patent and press Enter, type in institution and press Enter, and then ensure that the “OR” connector is displayed to the right.
