At times, the Bankruptcy Code’s preference provisions may seem to be aimed at unfairly penalizing the creditor. It may be hard to believe the congressional intent of preference avoidance in bankruptcy was to equalize distribution of payments to similarly situated creditors of a debtor - and even harder to explain it to your client! Planning ahead, implementing adequate precautionary measures, and exercising your rights as a creditor, however, will make the preference laws less perplexing. Thomas Federico, of Dobbs International Services, Inc. and Tisha Morris lead the way.

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.
