Not a flash in the pan: abstract idea reversal rate continues upward trend for July
August 22, 2018
July saw a continued trend of reversing Examiners’ abstract idea rejections. Last month, we reported that the PTAB overturned abstract idea rejections in June above 15%. Before this, it had been a year since such a high reversal rate. Now it appears that June was not a one-off month anomaly, but rather a continuation of a trend.
Similar to June, in July the PTAB decided a lot of abstract idea rejections. Of 195 total, 32 were reversed, yielding a pure reversal rate of 16.5%. One decision was partially affirmed, yielding a partial reverse rate of 17%.
Of note, in July the Board decided 20 more abstract idea decisions than in June. And June was no small month for abstract idea decisions. Such a greater sample size (from an already impressive total in June) with similar reversal rate suggests the board has changed its deference of examiner abstract idea rejections in light of recent case law.
