Case: Patents/Anticipation & Obviousness (Fed. Cir.)

The Federal Circuit affirmed in part and dismissed in part Gesture Technology Partners LLC’s appeal of the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board affirming the unpatentability of claims of Gesture’s patent directed to a method and apparatus used to enable rapid TV camera and computer-based sensing of objects and human input for use in various applications, as anticipated by or obvious over prior art. The court affirmed the board’s decision as to two claims, and otherwise dismissed the appeal.
