National Beef Packing Company, LLC v.Institute for Environmental Health, Inc.

The Petitioner argues that prior art references, including Rayman and Nagar, disclose or render obvious the claimed steps involving sampling, dilution, and assaying.
National Beef Packing Company, LLC v.Institute for Environmental Health, Inc.
The PTAB instituted the IPR after finding a reasonable likelihood of success that the challenged claims are unpatentable based on obviousness (35 U.S.C. § 103). The Board analyzed key claim terms, preliminarily construing 'validated' as a negative test result rather than release into commerce.
