Visa, Inc. successfully secured institution of its IPR against Cortex MCP, Inc.'s patent (10749859), despite the Patent Owner's objections regarding claim construction.

Ericsson Inc. et al. v.XR COMMUNICATIONS LLC

Godbersen-Smith Construction Company d/b/a GOMACO Corporation v.Guntert & Zimmerman Const. Div., Inc.

Dental Imaging Technologies Corporation et al. v.3Shape A/S
Dental Imaging Technologies Corporation's IPR petition against 3Shape A/S was denied institution by the PTAB. The Board found that despite some arguments, the similarities to prior proceedings and resource constraints warranted denial under discretionary authority.
Exotec Product France SAS et al. v.Opex Corporation
Exotec Product France SAS and co-petitioner successfully convinced the PTAB to institute IPR proceedings against Opex Corporation's patent, arguing that the claims are obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The Board found a reasonable likelihood of success based on combining prior art references Raizer and Hangzhou in the field of Automated Warehouse Robotics.
Ericsson Inc. et al. v.XR COMMUNICATIONS LLC
The PTAB instituted trial in an IPR proceeding concerning MIMO/Beamforming antenna technology. The Board found sufficient evidence to suggest that several challenged claims are unpatentable over the prior art, specifically Trigui and Rudrapatna. This decision moves the dispute forward toward a full evidentiary hearing on obviousness grounds.
Ewald Dorken AG v.Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG et al.
The PTAB denied Ewald Dorken AG's IPR challenge against Schaeffler Technologies regarding wheel bearing coating patents.
