On May 22, 2015, Bloomberg BNA featured an article on the Supreme Court's B&B Hardware decision earlier this year emphasizing the importance of the testimony of a legal expert in inter partes proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
Citing TTAB Strategy After B&B Hardware written by Venable attorneys Jeremy M. Klass, Matthew R. Farley and Mark B. Harrison, the Bloomberg BNA piece said, "Fear of preclusive TTAB decisions surely will lead litigators toward more extensive and intensive discovery-taking."
