Short Summary
The PTAB denied Motorola Solutions' IPR against STA Group, finding the petitioner failed to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on its obviousness challenges over prior art Choksi.
Detailed Summary
In this Institution Decision, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board declined to institute Inter Partes Review (IPR2024-00479) concerning U.S. Patent No. 9,319,852 B2. Motorola Solutions, Inc., the Petitioner, challenged claims 1–5 and 8–11 based on obviousness over prior art Choksi. The Board determined that the Petitioner failed to meet its burden of showing a reasonable likelihood of success, particularly because it could not clearly map the specific claim element 'receive a first determination from the IS...that a proxy is to be dynamically inserted to connect the endpoint to a virtual talk group' to the teachings of Choksi.
