Key Points:
..Patent Act’s restrictions on removal no longer apply to Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (PTAB) APJs
..Final written decisions currently on appeal might be vacated and remanded for review by a new PTAB panel
..The decision should not affect pending institution decisions and ongoing PTAB trials.
