U.S. Patent No. 8,611,404 is directed to sleep state in a multicarrier system (pages 2-3). “Without needing to reinitialize” was interpreted to provide for avoiding any one step of initialization, not just avoiding all steps (pages 9-10). The claim does not recite a previous or first initialization, so reinitialize was interpreted to be repeating the […]

U.S. Patent No. 8,611,404 is directed to sleep state in a multicarrier system (page 2). “Synchronization signal” appears only in the claims (page 4), and the specification describes a tone, referred to as a timing reference signal for synchronization (page 4). The specification also teaches frame synchronization (page 9). “Synchronization signal” was incorrectly interpreted to […]

U.S. Patent No. 8,008,018 and Application Serial No. 12/393,833 are directed to detecting a chromosomal abnormality in fetuses using random massively parallel sequencing (page 2). The specification teaches four steps focused on targeted sequences (pages 4-5). Two paragraphs relate to massively parallel sequencing (page 6). One paragraph mentions use of technology in a published patent […]

.S. Patent No. 8,690,233 is directed to vehicle load floors with sandwich-type composite panels with cellular cores (page 2). A reissue was filed to replace “thermoplastic” with “plastic” (pages 2-3). The specification only describes “thermoplastic,” yet a declaration indicated that other types of plastics are known for use in load floors and that the material […]

U.S. Patent No. 6,240,073 is directed to a reverse link in satellite communications (pages 2-3). The claims recite a “communication means for continuous transmission of data” and a “switching means” (page 4). The accused products used burst and longer communications for large files that are too big for bursts, so substantial evidence is provided of […]

U.S. Patent Nos. 8,738,794; 8,892,752; 9,258,698; and 9,749,847 are directed to connecting a camera to a mobile device to publish captured content to a website (pages 4-10). The dispute is over statutory subject matter in a motion to dismiss context. For step one, the claims are directed to the idea of capturing and transmitting data […]

U.S. Patent Nos. 6,884,434 and 8,232,414 are directed to transdermal rotigotine with an absence of water and a polymorph of rotigotine (page 2). One claim recites a “matrix … based on []an acrylate-based or silicone-based polymer adhesive system” (pages 8-9). The accused product uses a polyisobutylene adhesive (page 9). The claims were not amended but […]

U.S. Patent No. 8,253,743 is directed to a game-item customized game character as a layered avatar (pages 2-4). “Gamvatar” was interpreted to be a combination of a conventional avatar with a game item function rather than a conventional gamvatar with a game item function (page 8). The dispute centered around whether the gamvatar is limited […]

U.S. Patent No. RE45,878 is directed to holding workpieces during machining (page 2). The specification discloses only embodiments with arbors (pages 3-4). In the Reissue, the claims were broadened to include fixtures that do not use arbors – the arbor limitations of the original claims were removed (pages 4-5). To broaden claims in reissue, the […]

11 patents with 105 claims are directed to stacked integrated circuit memory (page 3). Each claim requires a “substantially flexible” semiconductor substrate or circuit layers (pages 5-6). The specification teaches grinding to a thickness less than 50 μm and then polishing or smoothing where the thinned substrate is now a substantially flexible substrate (page 8). […]
