Key Initiatives
The Committee considers rules, regulations and decisions related to PTAB proceedings, and when appropriate, makes recommendations regarding amicus briefing and comments submitted by AIPLA to the PTAB. The Committee is also involved in planning and presenting CLE programs to provide further education to AIPLA members on practice before the PTAB.
