[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that lots of senior PTAB judges will resign/retire. This will mean that many of the judges currently handling ex parte appeals will be moved (mostly against their will) to the trial side so that statutory deadlines are met. This will mean fewer judges handling appeals, so that they will take much longer to decide. I suspect that we are headed back to the three year backlogs of 2013-14 when I started at the Board.[/quote] I’m the other PTAB judge on this thread. I was thinking the same thing exactly. Maybe the bloated “management class” of judges will have to start handling a share of AIA trials—I can think of one Vice Chief Judge who has NEVER handled a trail or an appeal, and doubt she is capable of doing even one. These management judges should have to carry some of the load. I will be telling paneling not to assign me more cases after my 9O DU workload is set.[/quote]
