Raised or reasonably could have raised IPR: Inter partes review (after PGR) -First available on Sept. 16, Applies to all patents -Must file within 1 year of being served with infringement complaint Reasonable likelihood that petitioner would prevail on at least 1 claim Patents Published patent apps Printed publications Raised or reasonably could have raised CBM: Covered Business Method -First available on Sept. 16, Applies to all patents related to financial services but excludes technological inventions -More likely than not that at least 1 claim is unpatentable -Petitioner sued or charged with infringement Any invalidity ground Narrow: Raised (USPTO and Civil) or reasonably could have raised (USPTO) 3
