Juniper Networks, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
The PTAB issued a Final Written Decision finding that ten of the fifteen challenged claims were unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 based on various combinations of prior art references (Blease, Weyman, Hu, Deng). The Board found sufficient motivation to combine Blease and Weyman for distributed architecture features, while also finding that combining Blease/Weyman with Hu was plausible for bandwidth efficiency improvements.
Qualcomm Incorporated et al. v.Network System Technologies, LLC
The Board found the claims unpatentable under 103(a) over Goossens2003 and Drake. The decision hinged on demonstrating that an ordinary skilled artisan would be motivated to combine a Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture with a Quality of Service (QoS) management system for resource optimization.
Cisco Systems, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
The PTAB rejected Cisco's IPR challenge against the '088 patent, finding no grounds for obviousness over prior art references Dziong and Sathyanath. The Board construed the key term "other connections" narrowly to mean established connections with allocated bandwidth, favoring the Patent Owner's interpretation.
Panasonic Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. v.UNM Rainforest Innovations
The PTAB denied institution of an IPR challenge against UNM Rainforest Innovations' patent 8265096, finding no reasonable likelihood that the petitioner could prove unpatentability. The denial hinged on the Board's rejection of anticipation arguments based on prior art related to wireless data formats.
Cisco Systems, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
Cisco Systems successfully navigated a discretionary denial challenge at the PTAB, leading to the institution of an IPR against Portsmouth Network Corp. over network resource allocation claims. The Board found that Cisco demonstrated a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on at least one claim, despite arguments regarding prior art redundancy and pending district court litigation.
Cisco Systems Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
The PTAB decided to institute the IPR, finding that Petitioner demonstrated a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on at least one claim. The Board agreed with the petitioner's argument that prior art reference Gai teaches or suggests key limitations related to dummy traffic and spanning tree protocol operation in network switches.
Cisco Systems, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
Cisco Systems successfully petitioned to challenge Portsmouth Network Corporation's patent (8014394) in an IPR proceeding, leading the PTAB to institute the case. The Board found a reasonable likelihood of prevailing for several claims based on obviousness over prior art references Weyman and Li.
ENS Labs Ltd. v.Unstoppable Domains Inc.
ENS Labs Ltd.'s IPR challenge against Unstoppable Domains Inc. was denied by the PTAB, primarily because the petitioner failed to prove that key prior art documentation qualified as publicly accessible under 35 U.S.C. § 102. The Board found the evidence of public accessibility insufficient to support the obviousness grounds asserted across multiple claims.
Juniper Networks, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
The PTAB granted institution for an IPR concerning network reconfiguration protocols, finding a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on the grounds of obviousness (103). The patent relates to methods for rapid link failure recovery in Switching/Routing Protocols (STP).
Juniper Networks, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
Juniper Networks successfully navigated the PTAB's institution standards, leading to trial on numerous claims of Portsmouth Network Corporation's patent. The Board found a reasonable likelihood of prevailing based on obviousness grounds over Blease in view of Weyman and Hu.
Cisco Systems, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
The PTAB denied institution for Cisco Systems' IPR against Portsmouth Network Corporation regarding network failover methods. The Board found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of prevailing over the prior art, specifically Mitchell.
Juniper Networks, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
The PTAB instituted the IPR petition filed by Juniper Networks against Portsmouth Network Corporation, finding a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on multiple grounds.

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. et al. v.Collision Communications, Inc.
Samsung Electronics' IPR petition against Collision Communications was denied by the PTAB, finding that the petitioner failed to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of success. The Board specifically cited deficiencies in how Samsung addressed critical limitations within the challenged claims using the prior art.
Samsung Electronics America, Inc. et al. v.Collision Communications, Inc.
The PTAB denied the IPR petition filed by Samsung against Collision Communications' patent covering Multiuser Detection (MUD) technology. The Board found the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the prior art adequately taught the claimed unique signal parameters, leading to a lack of particularity in the arguments.
T-Mobile USA, Inc. et al. v.Aspen Networks, Inc.
T-Mobile USA's IPR challenge against Aspen Networks regarding VoIP network routing claims was denied by the PTAB. The Board found that the petitioner failed to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of success on its obviousness grounds, specifically concerning how SIP signaling sequences are maintained across network handoffs.
Samsung Electronics America, Inc. et al. v.Collision Communications, Inc.
The PTAB denied Samsung's request to institute an IPR against Collision Communications, citing the Fintiv factors. The Board found that scheduling proximity and significant investment weighed heavily in favor of denying institution despite allegations of obviousness.
Intel Corporation et al. v.Collision Communications, Inc.
