Georgia PATENTS is pleased to share a new resource for under-resourced inventors:

the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Pro Bono Program. For more information on this Program, please visit: https://www.ptabbar.org/ptab_pro_bono.php

 Inventors must meet the same financial criteria as inventors to the Georgia PATENTS Program, but do not need to come through a Patents Pro Bono Program to be eligible for free legal assistance. Volunteers provide free legal assistance in preparing ex parte appeals to the PTAB. This new program is provided through the PTAB Bar Association. Given Georgia PATENTS does not ask its volunteers to assist with appeals (although they may), please refer any inventors seeking assistance with PTAB appeals to:https://ptabbar.org/information_for_inventors.php

 Also, if any volunteer for the Patents Pro Bono Program would like to volunteer for the PTAB Pro Bono Program, please submit a volunteer form: https://www.ptabbar.org/ptab_pro_bono.php
