Case: Patents/Obviousness (P.T.A.B.)

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board said that challenged claims of E-Vision Optics LLC’s patent that discloses various types of eyewear including electronic functional members are unpatentable as obvious over prior art, in an inter partes review by Luxottica of America Inc. The board determined that the challenged claims are obvious over various combinations of prior art, including prior art that discloses eyeglasses for events, a textbook about designing and creating printed circuits, and that relates to receiver and speaker means adapted to eyewear supporting frameworks.
