Detailed Summary
MediaTek Inc. successfully petitioned the PTAB to institute an Inter Partes Review against DAEDALUS PRIME LLC's patent, 9887838, covering secure communications and hardware security modules. The Board determined that MediaTek demonstrated a reasonable likelihood of prevailing on grounds of obviousness (103) across all 24 claims at issue. Petitioner argued the claimed system-on-a-chip apparatus was an obvious combination of prior art references like Bugiel, Chou, Tkacik, and TLS-1.2, while the Patent Owner countered that these references were cumulative to prosecution history. The Board declined to deny institution despite factors favoring denial, leading to the case being instituted.
