Short Summary
The PTAB denied Lenovo and Motorola's request to institute IPR against Collision Communications regarding patent 6947505. The denial was based on the Petitioner failing to show a reasonable likelihood of success, mirroring a prior adverse ruling in related proceedings.
Detailed Summary
In this Institution Decision, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied the Petition filed by Lenovo (United States) Inc. and Motorola Mobility LLC against Collision Communications, Inc., concerning U.S. Patent No. 6,947,505 B2. The denial was based on the statutory requirement that a reasonable likelihood of prevailing must be demonstrated under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a). Since the Petitioner's case was substantively identical to one previously denied in Samsung IPR (IPR2024-01249), institution was likewise denied, and the Motion for Joinder was rejected.
