Winston Secures Federal Circuit Affirmance of 101 Victory for Polycom

Winston secured an appellate victory for Polycom (now part of HP) when the Federal Circuit affirmed a judgment on the pleadings of patent-ineligibility in a lawsuit brought by directPacket Research, Inc.

The Northern District of California agreed, and the Federal Circuit unanimously affirmed, adopting Winston’s arguments. Eimeric Reig argued the appeal, working with HP and the Winston team, including Kathi Vidal, Kelly Hunsaker, Sam Lerner, Matt McCullough, and David Dalke....Read more

Debanking Developments: OCC Bulletins Clarify Expectations, but Key Questions Remain

In this alert, Winston’s Financial Services Industry Group examines recent developments in debanking, focusing on two new OCC bulletins that clarify regulatory expectations. While these bulletins provide new insight into how the OCC is addressing debanking under the current administration, they also leave several important questions unanswered.

The OCC’s first bulletin addresses how politicized or unlawful debanking will factor into licensing applications and Community Reinvestment Act evaluations, emphasizing the importance of fair access and treatment. The second bulletin reminds banks of their obligations under the Right to Financial Privacy Act, particularly in light of recent congressional scrutiny, and underscores the need to protect customer financial records unless disclosure is legally required.

What Is an Inter Partes Review (IPR)?

An inter partes review of a patent is a type of administrative trial proceeding. Inter partes review became available in 2012 and replaced inter partes reexamination as a way to challenge patentability at the Patent Office. Any person who is not the owner of a patent can file a petition for a review of a patent. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) will act on the petition either instituting a trial or denying institution of a trial. This will occur a little over six months after the petition is filed. If trial is instituted, the proceeding will, with some limited exceptions, be resolved within one year....Read more

What Is the Patent Trial and Appeal Board?

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) is a tribunal within U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The PTAB oversees trial proceedings, namely: inter partes review (IPR), post-grant review (PGR), covered business method (CBM) review, and derivation proceedings. The Board also hears appeals from adverse patentability decisions by patent examiners in original applications, reissues, and reexaminations. And, while phasing out since the passage of the America Invents Act (AIA) in 2011, the PTAB is also responsible for deciding interferences. The PTAB was previously referred to as the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences and was renamed by the AIA....Read more

What Is Post-Grant Review?

A post-grant review, or PGR, is a trial proceeding where the patentability of one or more claims in a patent is reviewed. The review process begins when a third party, who is not the patent owner, files a petition within nine months of a patent being granted or reissued. This filing challenges a patent’s claim or claims based upon a specific ground. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) is the branch of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that handles the trial proceeding. The post-grant review can be filed on any grounds that are available to dispute the validity of a patent claim, except for the following: failure to disclose the best mode requirement....Read more
