Google LLC v.Proxense, LLC
Google challenges Proxense's patent claims in a PTAB petition, arguing the technology is obvious over various prior art references. The petitioner contends that existing hybrid devices integrating secure memory and reader circuits render the claimed digital key/reader systems unpatentable.
Google LLC v.Proxense, LLC
Google challenges Proxense's RFID authentication patents (8646042) in a Petition, arguing the claims are obvious over prior art.

Google LLC successfully argued that the challenged claims were obvious over multiple combinations of prior art (Dua, Giobbi ’157, Kotola, Buer).

This sets up a significant trial phase regarding wireless security and digital key technology.
Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless et al. v.Headwater Partners I LLC
The Board found all 18 challenged claims unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (obviousness).
