Apple Inc. v.Carbyne Biometrics, LLC

Apple Inc. v.Carbyne Biometrics, LLC
The PTAB granted institution for Apple Inc.'s IPR challenge against Carbyne Biometrics, LLC's biometric fraud detection patent.

This decision sets the stage for a trial focusing on how existing financial security methods could be combined to achieve the claimed results.
