The PTAB found all 19 challenged claims unpatentable based on obviousness (35 U.S.C. § 103).

Google LLCvsProxense, LLC
Google LLC successfully argued that the challenged claims were obvious over multiple combinations of prior art (Dua, Giobbi ’157, Kotola, Buer).

Apple Inc.vsSmith Interface Technologies, LLC
The PTAB issued a Final Written Decision denying the petitioner's obviousness challenges against numerous claims of Smith Interface Technologies.
