10038284

PPC Broadband sued Amphenol Corporation and Times Fiber Communications in the District of Delaware for patent infringement. The case was stayed (and one aggregator lists it as closed); the narrative notes that linkage of U.S. 10,038,284 to this case is inferred from related IPR filings rather than directly confirmed.

Amphenol filed an IPR against PPC Broadband challenging U.S. 10,038,284. The PTAB held claims 29–33, 36–43, and 46 unpatentable as obvious in a final written decision; rehearing was denied and the Federal Circuit later affirmed.

Consolidated appeal by PPC Broadband from four PTAB IPRs, including IPR2022-00720 on U.S. 10,038,284. The Federal Circuit affirmed via Rule 36 per curiam judgment on March 4, 2026.
