Detailed Summary
The Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied institution for Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., and Pensando Systems, Inc. in IPR2025-00479 against XtreamEdge, Inc. The petitioner asserted grounds of obviousness (35 U.S.C. § 103) over prior art references including Erskine, Scherzer, and Gillett for claims 1 through 20. However, the Board concluded that Petitioner failed to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on any asserted ground. Specifically, the Board found that while the petitioner argued elements related to collecting network parameters, the cited references did not teach or suggest the specific limitations regarding how transmission bandwidth is determined in the challenged claims.
