U.S. Patent Office Director Sanctions Vaccine Company for Egregious Misconduct

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Director Kathi Vidal has endorsed sanctions against Longhorn Vaccines & Diagnostics for what she describes as an “egregious abuse” of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) system. This rebuke stems from what Vidal characterized as the patent owner’s “deliberate scheme to hide” evidence detrimental to their case from the board. This decision came to light through an opinion publicized last Friday. For further details, you can access the original article published by Law360.
