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

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board held that challenged claims of Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. Limited’s patent that discloses a system and method that provide reduced latency in video signal processing systems are unpatentable as obvious over prior art, in an inter partes review by Netflix Inc. According to the board, the challenged claims are obvious over prior art that discloses staggercasting as transmitting a composite signal including two component content representative signals, one of which is delayed with respect to the other; and technology for reducing the start-up delay of digital video streams.
