Background
Wipqtus, Inc. appealed from a decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in inter partes review proceeding No. IPR2024-00023. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was the appellee.
The Federal Circuit heard and considered the appeal. Its nonprecedential judgment does not describe the patent, the challenged claims, the Board’s reasoning, or the arguments raised on appeal.
The Court’s Holding
The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s decision. The three-judge panel acted per curiam.
The court issued its judgment under Federal Circuit Rule 36, without a written opinion. Accordingly, the disposition provides no additional reasoning and states no separate legal rule beyond leaving the Board’s decision in place.
Key Takeaways
- The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s decision in IPR2024-00023.
- The court used a Rule 36 judgment and supplied no written explanation of its reasoning.
- The disposition is designated nonprecedential.
Why It Matters
The judgment ends this Federal Circuit appeal with the PTAB’s decision intact. Because the court issued no opinion, the disposition offers no precedential analysis for other patent disputes and does not reveal which aspects of the Board’s decision or the parties’ appellate arguments drove the result.
