patent null

TCL Electronics Holdings Ltd. et al. v.Intellectual Ventures I LLC

· IPR2024-01245

TCL Electronics Holdings Ltd. has filed an Inter Partes Review petition challenging several claims related to Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) clocking and Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS). The Petition asserts multiple grounds of obviousness, arguing that various combinations of prior art references render the claimed microprocessor architectures predictable.

patent final

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.

· 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). The Board found sufficient evidence that various combinations of prior art render multiple claimed features obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
