AMAZON.COM, INC. et al. v.Nokia Technologies Oy
Amazon has filed an IPR petition challenging Nokia's '808 patent, asserting that its skip coding mode is obvious over existing prior art references. The challenge focuses on whether combining zero-motion vector (ZMV) and non-zero motion vector (PNZMV) modes constitutes a predictable combination of known techniques in video compression. This dispute involves complex technical arguments regarding standard-setting technologies.

AMAZON.COM, INC. et al. v.Nokia Technologies Oy
The PTAB instituted the IPR, finding a reasonable likelihood of unpatentability for claims related to video compression and coding. The Board found that prior art references like Karczewicz and Frojdh, combined with H.263 standards, teach the claimed 'skip coding mode.'
AMAZON.COM, INC. et al. v.Nokia Technologies Oy
Amazon challenged Nokia's video coding patent (7532808) at the PTAB, arguing that the claims are obvious over prior art references like Karczewicz and Frojdh.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.EyesMatch Ltd.
The PTAB issued a Final Written Decision finding all 18 challenged claims unpatentable over prior art combinations. The Board adopted the District Court's construction of 'mirror tracking mode,' which requires the user to see a reversed reflection at roughly double the distance while maintaining constant size. This decision involved complex obviousness arguments regarding adaptive transformation mapping.
Meril Life Sciences Pvt Ltd. & Meril GmbH v.Edwards Lifesciences Corporation

M/s. Sri Narasu'S Coffee Company Private Limited v.M/s. Narasu'S Saarathy Enterprises Private limited
This Civil Revision Petition challenged an order by the Commercial District Court, Salem, which allowed the respondent to file a written statement beyond the statutory limit. The petitioner argued that since the suit was filed under the Trademarks Act and designated as commercial, the limitation period should not apply. However, the Madras High Court ultimately dismissed the petition, finding that because the specified value of the suit was less than Rs. 3 lakhs, the Commercial Courts Act did not grant jurisdiction to the court in the first place. Consequently, the Trial Court's decision to accept the written statement was upheld on the ground of lack of commercial jurisdiction.
