patent Final Written Decision

Deltran USA LLC et al. v.The Noco Company

· IPR2024-01219

The PTAB issued a Final Written Decision finding all 11 challenged claims unpatentable over various prior art combinations. The Petitioner successfully demonstrated obviousness by combining Richardson's jump starter apparatus with Zhao's USB step-up charging technology, and through other combinations involving Epower/Krieger references.

patent final

Samsung Display Co., Ltd. et al. v.Pictiva Displays International Ltd. et al.

· IPR2024-01222

The Petitioner successfully demonstrated obviousness over multiple combinations of prior art references for several claims related to OLED encapsulation methods.
