NPX USA, Inc. et al.vsBell Northern Research, LLC

NXP USA and Bell Northern Research entered a settlement and jointly moved to terminate IPR2024-01044 covering patent RE48,629. The Board granted the termination and ordered the settlement documents to be kept confidential.

Intel Corporation et al.vsTelefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson

Intel and others challenged Ericsson's '659 Patent, arguing that its deblocking filter equations are obvious over prior art references like Fu and Bjontegaard. The petition asserts that a Person Having Ordinary Skill in the Art would have routinely optimized the claimed coefficients using existing knowledge of high-pass filters.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al.vsEmpire Technology Development LLC

The petitioner asserts that several challenged claims related to MIMO/SIMO mode selection and power optimization in wireless communications are obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The arguments rely on combining established prior art, including Li-Siam, Cui-2003, Wu, and Tiirola, to demonstrate predictable combinations of circuit and radio frequency power usage.

TransCore, LPvsHand Held Products, Inc.

TransCore challenged U.S. Patent No. 8,919,654 in a PTAB petition, asserting that the wireless communication technology is anticipated or obvious over prior art references Tolonen, Katz, and Ishizu. The petitioner argues that claimed features like dynamic protocol switching and SDR capabilities are already disclosed in these sources.
