Case: Patents/Obviousness (Fed. Cir.)

The Federal Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that challenged claims of Centripetal Networks LLC’s patent that discloses a rule-based network threat detection are unpatentable as obvious over prior art, in an inter partes review by Keysight Technologies Inc. The court said that the board didn’t err in its claim construction analysis, and that substantial evidence supports its factual findings, but reversed as to two patent claims.
