[co-author: Laura Kanouse*] In Sand Revolution II, LLC v. Continental Intermodal Group-Trucking LLC, IPR2019-1393, Paper 19, (PTAB April, 7 2020), the Board denied briefing based on a lack of jurisdiction while the Precedential Opinion Panel request was pending. The question of when jurisdiction over a PTAB case transfers from the Board to the Precedential Opinion Panel is not clear. In 2018, the USPTO created the Precedential Opinion Panel to establish binding authority at the PTAB. The PTAB’s Standard Operating Procedure 2 (Revision 10) (SOP2) discusses the Precedential Opinion Panel review process. The process begins with a Screening Committee that reviews the requests for a Precedential Opinion Panel. After review, the Screening Committee sends its recommendations to the Director. The Director then decides whether to convene a Precedential Opinion Panel.
