Recently, the Director issued a memorandum identifying inter partes review (“IPR”) and post grant review (“PGR”) institution factors designed to promote American innovation and manufacturing. Director Squires noted that Sections 316(b) and 326(b) of the American Invents Act (“AIA”) require the Director to consider the effects of institution factors on the “economy, the integrity of the patent system, the efficient administration of the Office, and the ability of the Office to timely complete proceedings.”
