Short Summary
Orca Security has filed a petition to invalidate Wiz’s ’549 patent covering AI‑driven cybersecurity incident response. The challenger alleges obviousness over prior art combining a 2022 cybersecurity system (Peters) with a 2024 LLM‑focused disclosure (Lal). The petition is pending institution by the PTAB.
Detailed Summary
In Petition IPR2025-01086, Orca Security Ltd. seeks inter partes review of claims 1‑5 and 11‑16 of U.S. Patent No. 12,001,549, which claim a method, apparatus, and system for providing cybersecurity incident response using a large language model (LLM) and a security database. The petitioner argues that the claimed invention is obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103 because the combination of U.S. Patent No. 11,303,666 (Peters), describing a cyber‑threat detection and mitigation platform, with U.S. Patent Publication No. 2024/0403428 and its related provisional application (Lal), disclosing LLM‑based analysis and prompting, would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill. The petition includes proposed claim constructions for two disputed terms but no board construction has been made. The proceeding is currently at the petition stage, with no institution decision rendered.
