Juniper Networks challenged U.S. Patent 8,130,775 in an IPR petition, arguing that claims 1 and 6 are obvious based on prior art combinations. The petitioner asserts that combining Wainner/Bocci or Kamite/Bocci renders the claimed network technology conventional and predictable.
Juniper Networks, Inc. v.Monarch Networking Solutions LLC
Juniper Networks challenged U.S. Patent 8,130,775 in an IPR, arguing that claims 1 and 6 were obvious over combinations of Wainner, Bocci, and Kamite. The Board found the merits strong and ruled to institute the proceeding, noting prior art was not substantively analyzed by the Examiner.
CommScope Technologies LLC et al. v.Belden Canada ULC et al.
CommScope Technologies LLC successfully convinced the PTAB that U.S. Patent No. 11,656,422 B2 is likely unpatentable over prior art references Fukui and Sedor. The Board instituted the IPR on all 47 challenged claims based on grounds of anticipation and obviousness.
CommScope Technologies LLC et al. v.Belden Canada ULC et al.

The Board found Petitioner’s arguments persuasive regarding the technical scope of the modular fiber optic cassette system.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.KP INNOVATIONS 2, LLC
Samsung has filed an IPR petition challenging KP Innovations’ U.S. Patent 10,499,168, asserting that claims 18‑21 are anticipated or obvious over earlier camera‑carousel and dual‑camera mobile phone references. The petition seeks institution and cancellation of the claims.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.KP INNOVATIONS 2, LLC

Senko Advanced Components and US Conec Ltd. have settled their dispute over U.S. Patent 11,880,075 and jointly moved to withdraw the inter partes review, seeking full termination of the proceeding.
Cisco Systems, Inc. v.Video Solutions Pte. Ltd.
Cisco Systems lost its IPR challenge against Video Solutions Pte. Ltd., with the PTAB rejecting claims of obviousness over Larson and Cai. The Board found that Petitioner failed to provide sufficient technical explanation for how a person skilled in the art would combine prior art references.
Roku, Inc. v.VideoLabs, Inc.
Roku successfully petitioned for the institution of IPR against VideoLabs regarding claims related to Conditional Access and Digital Rights Management. The Board found that Petitioner's evidence sufficiently supported unpatentability under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103, advancing the dispute into the review phase.
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC et al. v.Entropic Communications, LLC
Comcast defends its three parallel IPR petitions against Entropic Communications, asserting they comply with PTAB guidance and are essential for addressing multiple invalidity grounds. The response urges the Director to reject the Patent Owner’s request for review.

The PTAB denied Comcast's second IPR petition against Entropic's wideband receiver patent (11785275), citing the existence of a first, already-instituted parallel proceeding.
Cisco Systems, Inc. v.Scale Video Coding LLC
The PTAB denied Cisco Systems' IPR petition against Scale Video Coding LLC, finding the asserted claims were not reasonably likely to be unpatentable over prior art references. The decision focused on technical limitations regarding bandwidth identification in video routers.
Juniper Networks, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
The PTAB instituted the IPR petition filed by Juniper Networks against Portsmouth Network Corporation, finding a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on multiple grounds. The Board specifically accepted arguments that challenged claims 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and others based on obviousness over Blease in view of Weyman and Hu.
Juniper Networks, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
Juniper Networks successfully navigated the PTAB's institution standards, leading to trial on numerous claims of Portsmouth Network Corporation's patent. The Board found a reasonable likelihood of prevailing based on obviousness grounds over Blease in view of Weyman and Hu.
Nokia of America Corporation et al. v.Iarnach Technologies Limited
Iarnach Technologies seeks denial of an IPR filed by Nokia and AT&T over U.S. Patent 9,806,892 covering direct power‑state transitions in passive optical networks. The owner argues the cited references do not disclose such transitions and invokes Fintiv discretionary denial factors due to parallel district‑court cases.
Nokia of America Corporation et al. v.Iarnach Technologies Limited
Iarnach argues Nokia’s IPR petition fails to map the patent’s “parameter set” claim language to any prior art and should be denied under Fintiv discretionary standards due to filing delay and overlapping district‑court cases.
Cisco Systems, Inc. v.Portsmouth Network Corporation
Cisco Systems' attempt to overturn the denial of IPR institution against Portsmouth Network Corporation was rejected by the Delegated Review Panel. The DRP upheld the Board's implicit claim construction, finding that the claims covered all network nodes, not just downstream ones.
Aylo Freesites Ltd et al. v.DISH Technologies L.L.C. et al.
The Director vacated the Final Written Decision and dismissed the IPR petition filed by Aylo Freesites Ltd against DISH Technologies L.L.C., finding that the petition was time-barred after correcting its list of Real Parties in Interest.
Cambridge Mobile Telematics, Inc. v.Sfara, Inc.
The PTAB denied institution of IPR for Cambridge Mobile Telematics against Sfara, citing Petitioner's failure to provide a proper claim construction under 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(3). Additionally, the Board found that key 'component' terms functioned as means-plus-function limitations lacking cognizable structure in the patent specification.
Google LLC v.Proxense, LLC
The PTAB found all 20 challenged claims unpatentable over various combinations of prior art references. The Board adopted the Petitioner's view that the terms used in the patent provided sufficiently definite structure and that the combination of existing technology rendered the claimed invention obvious.
TCL Industries Holdings Co., Ltd. v.Maxell, Ltd.
TCL Industries Holdings Co., Ltd.'s attempt to challenge Maxell, Ltd.'s patent via IPR was denied by the PTAB. The Board found that proceeding with the review would be inefficient due to the advanced stage of parallel district court litigation and TCL's late filing.
AT&T Corp. et al. v.Soto, Alexander et al.
AT&T and the Soto patent owners have settled their dispute over U.S. Patent 8,238,754 covering passive optical network technology. They jointly filed a motion to terminate the IPR, requesting the Board treat the settlement agreement as confidential.
AT&T Corp. et al. v.Soto, Alexander et al.
AT&T Corp. et al. successfully petitioned to institute an IPR against the '754 Patent, challenging 30 claims based on obviousness (35 U.S.C. §103). The Board found strong merits in the petition, noting that the combination of prior art references was highly relevant to Passive Optical Networks (PONs).
Apple Inc. v.DH International Ltd
The PTAB determined that all 20 challenged claims of the '294 patent were unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103, finding obviousness over combinations of Suga and Gorsuch. The Board successfully rejected the Patent Owner's attempts to narrow key claim terms, upholding the Petitioner's broad interpretation of functional language.
Uber Technologies, Inc. v.Enovsys, LLC
The PTAB denied institution of an IPR challenging claims related to location tracking and wireless systems. The Board found insufficient evidence that the challenged claims would be obvious over the cited prior art, particularly regarding specific limitations like 'tracking period' or 'tracking request.'
Uber Technologies, Inc. v.Envosys, LLC
The PTAB denied institution of the IPR petition filed by Uber Technologies against Envosys, LLC, finding that the challenged claims were obvious over prior art. The Board rejected Petitioner's arguments regarding combining references to teach location tracking and geographic boundary disclosure.
