Short Summary
The PTAB denied institution of an IPR challenge against Wiz, Inc.'s cybersecurity patent (12001549) because the petitioner, Orca Security Ltd., maintained inconsistent claim construction positions across different legal forums.
Detailed Summary
In this Institution Decision, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board declined to institute Inter Partes Review of claims in U.S. Patent No. 12,001,549 B1 (Cybersecurity Incident Response Techniques Utilizing Artificial Intelligence). The denial was based not on the merits of unpatentability, but on procedural grounds: Petitioner Orca Security Ltd. failed to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of prevailing because it adopted inconsistent claim construction positions from related district court litigation while simultaneously maintaining alternative challenges in the IPR proceeding.
