Short Summary
The PTAB denied fuboTV Media’s request for rehearing of the final written decision in IPR2024-00046, finding no error in the Board’s claim construction or consideration of prior art. The petition’s arguments on claim 7 were deemed untimely and unsupported.
Detailed Summary
In IPR2024-00046 concerning U.S. Patent No. 10,951,680, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board affirmed its earlier finding that 17 of the 25 challenged claims were unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. §103. The petitioner, fuboTV Media Inc., sought rehearing on claim 7, arguing that the Board misapprehended its mappings to the prior‑art references Ogdon and Allen and adopted an erroneous claim construction limiting the term “web servers.” The Board rejected these arguments, noting that the petitioner introduced new rationales not raised in the original petition and failed to provide a coherent interpretation of the prior art. Consequently, the rehearing request was denied, leaving the original unpatentability findings intact.
