Prior settlement scuppers Apple appeal over Qualcomm patents
08-04-2021
Apple cannot appeal a final
inter partes review (IPR) decision upholding claims in two Qualcomm voice messaging patents because of a prior settlement between the companies, said a US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision on Wednesday, April 7.
The Californian tech giant sought to appeal a Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) decision that dismissed Apple’s arguments that the claims were obvious.
The claims in dispute were 1-14 and 16-18 of Qualcomm’s US7,844,037 patent and claims 1-6 and 8-20 of its US8,683,362 patent.
The Federal Circuit dismissed the request to appeal, claiming that Apple failed to establish its standing for the appeal in light of the fact that both parties had already settled litigation relating to the patents in April 2019.
