Lifefactory patent on protective sleeves for containers survives IPR with most claims intact

The Lifefactory patent covering a protective sleeve technology survived a challenge at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) with most of its claims intact. The company announced that 13 of 21 claims in U.S. Patent No. 8579133, titled Protective Sleeves for Containers, were deemed valid as a result of an inter partes review (IPR) filed by Leapfrog Product Development of Chicago, IL. The ‘133 patent is not currently involved in any current litigation as of our August 26th interview with Mabrey. According to Mabrey, the company wanted to wait to see the outcome of the IPR process before deciding on a strategy.
