Case: Patents/Obviousness (Fed. Cir.)

The Federal Circuit vacated and remanded decisions of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board denying Federal Express Corporation’s motion to terminate Qualcomm Incorporated’s inter partes review of a patent for a sensor-based logistics system, and its finding that challenged patent claims are unpatentable as obvious over prior art. The court declined to review the challenge to the board’s denial to terminate the IPR proceedings, and vacated and remanded the board’s obviousness determination.
