Snap Inc. et al. v. Nokia Technologies Oy

Apple Inc.vsS.M.R Innovations LTD et al.

Apple seeks Director review to overturn a PTAB decision that found its HomeRF‑based cellular‑call routing patent obvious. The Patent Owners contend the Board introduced a new adaptation rationale not raised by Apple, violating procedural rules.

MICROSOFT CORPORATION et al.vsLiTL LLC

The USPTO denied Microsoft’s request for Director review of the PTAB’s decision denying institution of IPR2024-00457 (and the related IPR2024-00458). The denial leaves the institution refusal in place.

ELMOS SEMICONDUCTOR SEvsTexas Instruments Incorporated

Elmos Semiconductor SE challenged Texas Instruments' LED driver patent (11653432) in the PTAB, alleging obviousness and anticipation. The petitioner relies on a combination of multiple prior art references to invalidate claims 1-20 related to power management ICs.

Tempus AI, Inc.vsGuardant Health Inc.

Tempus AI seeks to invalidate all 30 claims of Guardant Health’s DNA‑sequencing patent, arguing they are obvious over Kinde, Craig, and NEB Expressions. The petition asserts no claim construction is needed and that discretionary denial is inappropriate.

ClearCorrect Operating, LLC et al.vsAlign Technology, Inc.

Align Technology seeks Director review to vacate the institution of IPR2025-00817 against its intraoral scanner patent. The petitioner’s earlier trial‑date projection is shown to be inaccurate, the cited prior art does not teach the claimed limitation, and the petitioner failed to disclose all foreign real parties in interest.
