It was a relatively consistent week in terms of overall patent filings, with 24 inter partes reviews (IPRs) and two post grant reviews (PGRs) and 77 new district court complaints. The district court saw a couple of new higher-profile cases involving Google, one by small company, Flypsi, and another a declaratory judgment (DJ) action against small smart thermostat maker (and aggressive enforcer), Ecofactor.
Some claims underlying $25 million verdict held unpatentable after stay denied: In a series of IPRs filed years ago against patents asserted by Acorn Semi, LLC, most—but not all—of the claims underlying a later $25 million judgment out of the Eastern District of Texas have been found unpatentable, with the patent owner prevailing on others. In the original case, six semiconductor patents were asserted against Samsung on certain features of layers of their semiconductors. Samsung filed ten IPRs and was instituted on seven, including the majority of the claims then asserted; the District Court judge, Judge Gilstrap, denied a motion for stay of the case, citing the lack of complete overlap and the advanced stage of the trial. The trial went on to result in a $25 million judgment in the middle of 2021; now the Board has completed their review and found all asserted claims of two of the four patents unpatentable, while they found in favor of the patent owner on some asserted claims of another patent. Three of the seven are still pending; the case is now on appeal. See, e.g. IPR2022-01204 (U.S. Patent 8,766,336).
Board invokes statutory 325(d) discretion over lengthy reexam: In IPR2021-01197, a Board panel took a detailed look at a lengthy prosecution and reexamination history (including an appeal to the Federal Circuit) and concluded that the petitioner was recycling old grounds and references well-vetted in the previous rounds by the office. Notably, they highlighted that the petitioner had taken no effort and had indeed not shown any error in the previous examination or reexamination, and invoked their express institution discretion under 325(d) to deny the case.

This recurring series IS biased against patent owners. See the author’s bio.

January 21, 2022 12:13 amThe title of this article should read “Claims from $25 Million Verdict Held Patentable After Stay Denied”.
In the article, it is stated “Some claims underlying $25 million verdict held unpatentable after stay denied: In a series of IPRs filed years ago against patents asserted by Acorn Semi, LLC, most—but not all—of the claims underlying a later $25 million judgment out of the Eastern District of Texas have been found unpatentable, with the patent owner prevailing on others. … [The Board] found in favor of the patent owner on some asserted claims of another patent.”
Yet the title of the article doesn’t mention this at all. It only says that “Claims from $25 Million Verdict Held Unpatentable After Stay Denied.”
It appears the author is biased against patent owners.

January 20, 2022 03:45 pmI’m confused. Why didn’t Samsung raise their invalidity contentions in the Texas case where the dispute could have been quickly and completely resolved? Why is the patent office interfering with the judiciary? How does any of this square with the PTAB being a faster and cheaper alternative to district court for small businesses?
