Cuozzo Speed Tech, IPR2012-00001 (PTAB 2013) Download Final decision-59 In its first full merits decision in an inter partes review case, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has sided fully with the petitioner Garmin and ordered the three challenged claims cancelled.
314(d) ("The determination by the Director whether to institute an inter partes review under this section shall be final and nonappealable."); Although the Supreme Court in Cuozzo suggested that some appeals of institution decisions may be available.
However, in the very recent Cuozzo decision, the Supreme Court held that in "significant respects, inter partes review is less like a judicial proceeding and more like a specialized agency proceeding." An upcoming amicus would do well to address this point.
Cuozzo Speed Techs., LLC v.

These include Cuozzo & Pulse that I have previously discussed.
On a final issue, the PTO argued that the question before the court was effectively a challenge to the PTO petition decision -- something made expressly unappealable by the Patent Act §314(d). "Even if the statute forbids his partial institution practice, the Director suggests we lack the power to say so." However, the majority disagreed with the PTO Director -- holding that the case here involves "exactly the sort" of "shenanigans" that serve as exceptions to the Cuozzo rule.
I'll note here that two major failings of this portion of the Federal Circuit's decision are (1) that the court offered no standard for its review of the PTAB's refusal to allow certain arguments; and (2) the court appears to basically be reviewing the partial institution decision -- but those are not reviewable under Cuozzo.
Second, notwithstanding that group, the vast majority of CBM and IPR petitions are filed by parties that are in all likelihood simultaneously litigating the patents in district court.

And, if a court has already construed the claim then the PTO must "consider such claim construction." This particular change is one that favors patentees.

However, the issues here appear to fall squarely within the exceptions noted by the Supreme Court in Cuozzo.

As in the Cuozzo case, the original IPR petitioner has dropped out of the case after a settlement, but the PTO is defending its own judgment.
An oddity of all of this is that the Federal Circuit appears quite concerned in this case about the linkages between claim construction during inter partes review and subsequent litigation, but previously ignored that issue during the prior cuozzo debate.
