Short Summary
Google successfully opposed EyesMatch’s Director Review request, arguing consistent position and lack of procedural error. The Board denied the request, leaving the patent’s claims unaltered.
Detailed Summary
In the Director Review proceeding for U.S. Patent No. 8,982,110, Google LLC contended that its stance on claim construction remained consistent and that the prior art inherently taught the claimed limitations, rendering any construction unnecessary. The Board found Revvo inapplicable because Google was not a defendant in the parallel district court case, affirmed that Google’s reply arguments were proper, and rejected EyesMatch’s motion to strike. Consequently, the Director Review request was denied, preserving the Board’s earlier finding of unpatentability for the challenged claims.
