The PTAB institution decision found a reasonable likelihood of unpatentability for multiple claims in the audio device patent (11197084).

Apple Inc. v.HBCU Messaging US LP

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.SiOnyx, LLC

The PTAB granted institution for an IPR challenging claims 1-16 of a nucleic acid analysis patent, finding reasonable likelihood of success.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.SiOnyx, LLC
The PTAB denied Samsung Electronics' IPR petition against SiOnyx, LLC due to significant overlap with a parallel district court case. The Board found that the proximity of the trial date and overlapping issues outweighed the Petitioner’s strong merits arguments regarding anticipation and obviousness in semiconductor technology.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.SiOnyx, LLC
Samsung Electronics' IPR challenge against SiOnyx, LLC was denied by the PTAB due to significant overlap with parallel district court litigation. The Board exercised its discretion under Fintiv guidance, prioritizing efficiency over the merits of the invalidity arguments.

American Airlines, Inc. et al. v.Intellectual Ventures II LLC
