An inter partes review challenging the validity of a patent is normally barred after one year from service of a complaint. However, 35 USC § 315(b) says the time limit doesn’t apply to a motion to join, which has been interpreted to allow filing an IPR after one year with a motion to join the other IPR. The window for doing this is within one month of institution of the IPR to be joined (37 CFR § 42.122(b)). This situation often occurs in multi-case, multi-defendant litigation. The question then becomes should you join, and if so, how.
