The PREVAIL Act introduces necessary reforms to rectify the shortcomings of the AIA, particularly regarding post issuance patent reviews, and aims to enhance protections for patent owners.
Key improvements in the PREVAIL Act include the requirement for PTAB panels to issue a Final Written Claim Construction Determination prior to final decisions, enhancing transparency and fairness.
Another significant aspect of the PREVAIL Act is the introduction of statutory estoppels, which prevent patent challengers from asserting materially different claim constructions during trials, promoting consistency.
This legislation is praised for addressing the critical needs of patent owners and is viewed as a thoughtful step forward in patent law reform.
