π PerfectVision Manufacturing, Inc.Δ PPC Broadband, Inc.

PerfectVision filed a declaratory-judgment action against PPC Broadband. The original complaint named six PPC patents, and PerfectVision later moved to add several newly issued PPC patents including the '353 patent; leave to amend was granted June 10, 2013. The August 29, 2014 Markman opinion identified a different set of six patents then at issue, indicating the '353 count may have dropped out, but the specific disposition order was not retrieved.

π Corning Optical Communications RF, LLCΔ PPC Broadband, Inc.

Corning Optical Communications RF petitioned for inter partes review of claims 7-27 of the '353 patent.

π PPC Broadband, Inc.Δ Corning Optical Communications RF, LLC

Consolidated Federal Circuit appeals from the Corning IPRs. The court affirmed unpatentability of claims lacking the 'maintain electrical continuity' limitation but vacated the Board's determination that claims 7-27 of the '353 patent were unpatentable, remanding because the Board had not found that Matthews+Tatsuzuki maintain continuity during the claimed positions/modes.

decided
Docket:
2017-1362
Terminated:
2018-07-03

π PPC Broadband, Inc.Δ Iancu (PTO)

Follow-on Federal Circuit appeal after the remand decisions in the Corning IPRs; Corning withdrew after settlement and the PTO intervened. The opinion restated that the 'maintain electrical continuity' claims require consistent or continuous contact and addressed Board treatment of objective indicia, but the ultimate disposition line was not confirmed from retrieved sources.
