Solus Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. et al. v.SK nexilis Co., Ltd.
Solus Advanced Materials Co., Ltd.'s IPR challenge against SK nexilis Co., Ltd. was denied institution by the PTAB, despite a 'close call' on the merits. The denial hinged primarily on procedural factors related to scheduling and parallel litigation.
SAP America, Inc. et al. v.Cyandia, Inc.
The PTAB instituted the IPR, finding a reasonable likelihood of unpatentability for SAP America against Cyandia. The Board specifically found that key limitations regarding 'determining a notification method' lacked written description support in the original application.
SAP America, Inc. et al. v.Cyandia, Inc.
The PTAB denied SAP's request to institute IPR against Cyandia's patent (8751948), citing copending district court litigation in Texas. The Board determined the overlapping issues made IPR redundant.

This decision sets the stage for a full trial regarding semiconductor device technology.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.Harbor Island Dynamic, LLC

Axion Biosystems, Inc. v.Agilent Technologies, Inc.
The PTAB issued a final decision finding the challenged claims unpatentable over Xu-752 and Jones. The Board concluded that the Petitioner failed to demonstrate non-hindsight motivation for combining the references or making the necessary technical modifications, citing lack of support for millisecond time resolution.
SAP America, Inc. et al. v.Cyandia, Inc.
The PTAB found that the challenged claims were unpatentable over prior art combinations under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103. The Board adopted a broad claim construction, defining 'current state' to include both online and offline device states, which facilitated the finding of obviousness.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.Harbor Island Dynamic, LLC
The PTAB found all twenty challenged claims unpatentable in this IPR proceeding concerning backside metal adhesion. The Board adopted the Patent Owner's position that the claim language does not require strict direct contact for 'on a bottom surface.'
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v.Harbor Island Dynamic, LLC
The PTAB found all 17 challenged claims unpatentable due to anticipation (102) and obviousness (103). The Board determined that the prior art reference Norström disclosed key features, leading to findings of anticipation for most claims. For others, combinations of Yin and Koshimizu were deemed obvious over the patent.
Biotyx Medical (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd v.The Assistant Controller Of Patents And Designs
Biotyx Medical challenged the refusal of its patent application for an absorbable iron-based alloy implantable medical device. The Controller had rejected the application citing lack of novelty and inventive step under the Patent Act, 1970. The Delhi High Court found that the impugned order lacked sufficient scientific reasoning and proper methodology in adjudicating the invention's merits. Consequently, the court set aside the rejection order and remanded the application back to the Controller for a detailed assessment of the inventive step.
Mankind Pharma Limited v.Sanshiv Health Tech Private Limited & Anr.
The Delhi High Court issued a significant interim order in the pharmaceutical infringement suit filed by Mankind Pharma Limited. The court exempted the plaintiff from mandatory pre-litigation mediation, recognizing the urgency of the matter. Crucially, the court allowed an application seeking an ex-parte ad-interim injunction and appointed Local Commissioners to conduct search and seizure at the defendants' premises. This order provides a robust mechanism for the plaintiff to secure evidence related to alleged infringement.
Dcm Shriram Limited v.Kohinoor Seed Fields India Private Limited
Dcm Shriram Limited successfully secured an interim injunction against Kohinoor Seed Fields India Private Limited in the Delhi High Court. The court recognized a prima facie case of trademark infringement and passing off, given Dcm Shriram's established brand presence and statutory protection for its 'Shriram Super 303' mark. This crucial order temporarily prevents the defendant from using deceptively similar marks like '303' in relation to wheat seeds, protecting the plaintiff's market reputation during the critical Rabi cropping season.
