The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office or USPTO) proposes new rules of practice to implement the provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act that provide for trials before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (Board). The proposed rules would provide a consolidated set of rules relating to Board trial practice for inter partes review, post-grant review, the transitional program for covered business method patents, and derivation proceedings. The proposed rules would also provide a consolidated set of rules to implement the provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act related to seeking judicial review of Board decisions.

Under recent Supreme Court decisions, and the Military Commissions Act passed by Congress in 2006, detainees have a right to judicial review both of their classification as enemy combatants and of any criminal sentence passed against them. [...] despite their illegitimate methods of warfare, the Guantanamo detainees have received more due process rights than even soldiers of sovereign states merit under the Geneva Conventions. The detainee can be held only if the board concludes that he is an enemy combatant by a preponderance of the evidence, and this decision is subject to review by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
