The trio won the appeal after Iron Oak challenged an earlier Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) ruling on patent 5,699,275, which describes a method for remotely delivering operating system upgrades. Iron Oak is currently pursuing claims against all three of the tech giants in Texas courts, and yesterday s nonprecedential decision could affect that.
Named “system and method for remote patching of operating code located in a mobile unit,“ the 1995 patent describes a method in which a central server could transmit an operating system patch to a remote computer through a communications network. The remote machine would then merge the patch with the underlying operating system and switch to the updated code.
