“Fees are paid by the petitioner, making the petitioner the true customer of the PTAB. If the odds are small for favorable institution and final decisions, customers will not use the PTAB.”

Ex-USPTO Director Lee Says She Did Not Stack PTAB Panels

With respect to the abundance of ignorance regarding the value of all the ipr decisions of the past, which are held in such high regard by that same ignorance.........those decisions were the result of trials put on by the ptab. The ptab is an arm of the USPTO. To begin with, the USPTO was headed by Michelle Lee who was corrupt and forced out of office. She had to be forced out cuz she just wouldn't leave when it was her time to go. She ignored and defied rulings of the supreme court. She also not only stacked the judge panels but admitted to doing so and tried to justify it. All that came out at the time and if you dig deep enough you'll find these facts. The ptab most likely would've ruled some invalidity of at least some aspects of some patents....BUT.....in stepped Mr Tom Sawyer....who was sick and tired of the PTAB corruption he saw. He sent many letters out to the president, vice president, members of congress, governors, etc, which threatened to bring federal RICO charges against them. That stopped them in their tracks and it then took three, 3 judge panels a full year to finally give unprecedented positive rulings on ALL IPRs, something as far as I know, never had happened before or since. I posted many times here about the 1-2 punch tag team of the uspto/ptab. The both also charge huge fees to rule on and maintain their rulings. Their 1-2 punch tag team has brought in kazillions to the gov coffers. And the patents that the USPTO granted are often invalidated. It all depends on who is being examined and how much money the have to fork over and in the case of Vplm, their hand was forced by the powerful Sawyer letters. And all that above, is above and beyond the fact that the patents are assumed to have full and total validity as soon as they are patented.

I challenged anyone to produce any evidence whatsoever that judges rulings in patent infringement cases, are influenced by ipr decisions. Not one answer to that challenge came. Not surprising.
