`NOTICE CONCERNING ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
`(ADR)
`The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) strongly encourages
`
`parties who are considering settlement to consider alternative dispute
`resolution as a means of settling the issues that may be raised in an AIA trial
`proceeding. Many AIA trials are settled prior to a Final Written Decision.
`Those considering settlement may wish to consider alternative dispute
`resolution techniques early in a proceeding to produce a quicker, mutually
`agreeable resolution of a dispute or to at least narrow the scope of matters in
`dispute. Alternative dispute resolution has the potential to save parties time
`and money.
`
`Many non-profit organizations, both inside and outside the intellectual
`property field, offer alternative dispute resolution services. Listed below are
`the names and addresses of several such organizations. The listings are
`provided for the convenience of parties involved in cases before the PTAB;
`the PTAB does not sponsor or endorse any particular organization’s
`alternative dispute resolution services. In addition, consideration may be
`given to utilizing independent alternative dispute resolution firms. Such
`firms may be located through a standard keyword Internet search.

`
`If parties to an AIA trial proceeding consider using alternative dispute
`
`resolution, the PTAB would like to know whether the parties ultimately
`decided to engage in alternative dispute resolution and the reasons why or
`why not. If the parties actually engage in alternative dispute resolution, the
`PTAB would be interested to learn what mechanism (e.g., arbitration,
`
`
`
`Case PGR2018-00033
`Patent No. 9,644,170
`
`mediation, etc.) was used and the general result. Such a statement from the
`parties is not required but would be helpful to the PTAB in assessing the
`value of alternative dispute resolution to parties involved in AIA trial
`proceedings. To report an experience with ADR, please forward a summary
`of
