· IPR2024-01225

Lenovo successfully petitioned the PTAB to institute IPR proceedings against a patent owned by University of Rochester/Intellectual Ventures regarding Multiple Clock Domain Architectures (MCD).

Lenovo (United States) Inc. et al. v.Intellectual Ventures II

· IPR2024-00124

LENOVO (UNITED STATES) INC. et al. v.Intellectual Ventures I LLC et al.

· IPR2024-01225

The PTAB found that claims 1 and 3-7 of the patent were unpatentable over prior art references (Shenai, Georgiou, etc.), while claims 8-12 survived. The key finding was that the claim language did not require global-asynchrony, supporting the Petitioner’s interpretation.

Lenovo (United States) Inc. et al. v.Intellectual Ventures II

· IPR2024-00109

The Board found that claims 1–3, 6–9, 12, and 14–17 are unpatentable over Neufeld grounds. Specifically, the Board determined that prior art reference Neufeld taught multiple limitations of the claimed apparatus, including distinct bus controllers and encrypted communication handling. The combination of IPMI/Huckins was rejected as lacking motivation to combine or relying on hindsight.

patent Final Written Decision · Jan 23, 2024

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.Headwater Research LLC

· IPR2024-00341

The decision hinged on demonstrating that conventional design choices, such as using SSL/TLS and implementing modems, would have been obvious to one skilled in the art.
