· IPR2025-00934

Samsung challenged Wilus's wireless patent claims based on obviousness in view of prior art standards and publications. The PTAB institution decision found a reasonable likelihood that the claims are unpatentable, specifically citing combinations of Bharadwaj and Sun. This sets up a significant trial over HE WLAN technology.

Garmin International, Inc. v.Cardiacsense LTD

· IPR2025-00195

patent final · Aug 28, 2024

Digital Global Systems, Inc. v.DeepSig, Inc.

· IPR2024-01358

The Board found several claims of Patent No. 11,018,704 B1 unpatentable over prior art (Jüschke and Holt), primarily based on obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The decision involved extensive claim construction, notably finding that 'associated with' includes models implemented in a base station and that 'representation of' allows for modeled signals.

patent all challenged claims upheld · Aug 16, 2024

Altice USA, Inc. et al. v.Touchstream Technologies, Inc.

· IPR2024-01263

Google’s inter partes review of Touchstream’s ’251 patent failed; the Board found no unpatentable subject matter for claims 1, 2, and 5‑9. The petition relied on Muthukumarasamy and Hayward, but the Board concluded the references did not teach the required signal flow or media‑player identification.

patent denied · Aug 1, 2024

WIZ, Inc. v.Orca Security Ltd.

· IPR2024-00220

The PTAB denied WIZ, Inc.'s IPR petition against Orca Security Ltd., finding that a statutory disclaimer covered all challenged claims.

patent Final Written Decision · Jul 15, 2024

Kia Corporation et al. v.Emerging Automotive LLC

· IPR2024-01167

The PTAB found that the majority of claims (1-5 and 7-21) in the '659 patent were unpatentable based on combinations of prior art references. The Board specifically agreed with Petitioner's argument that Kleve combined with Hatton rendered independent claim 1 obvious, finding a reasonable expectation of success for POSITA.

patent Final Written Decision · May 29, 2024

Kia Corporation et al. v.Emerging Automotive LLC

· IPR2024-00981

The PTAB issued a Final Written Decision finding all 20 claims of the '188 patent unpatentable based on obviousness (35 U.S.C. § 103). The Petitioner successfully demonstrated that independent claim 1 and dependent claims were rendered obvious by combining Kleve with Sekiyama, while other claims were found obvious in view of various combinations including Kleve/Mottla and Zaid/Harris.
