In late June, Unified Patents published the findings of an economic report conducted by consulting firm The Perryman Group on the supposed impacts of validity trials conducted under the America Invents Act (AIA) at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) on the U.S. economy. Unsurprisingly, the report is very bullish on the effects of the AIA, and Perryman pegs the positive impact of the AIA and the PTAB at $2.95 billion in terms of increased gross domestic product, $1.41 billion in increased personal income and 13,500 of additional job-years of employment. Careful observers of the U.S. patent system, however, will note that the data only does a good job of examining one side of the PTAB’s impact.
