US 10810050

The search results for "US10810050B2 CAFC dockets 2026" and similar queries did not directly return any CAFC docket entries for patent 10810050 in 2026. The first search result appears to be a car part with a similar-looking number, which I need to ignore based on the strict instruction to interpret alphanumeric IDs literally and not auto-correct. The other results provide general information about the CAFC, how to find cases, and a schedule of May 2026 cases, but none explicitly list US10810050B2 or 10810050.

The patent itself mentions an IPR case (IPR2026-00296) filed in 2026 and a US case in the Texas Eastern District Court (2:25-cv-00943 filed in 2025). While appeals from these could go to the CAFC, there's no indication yet that they have, especially for a 2026 IPR. Given the strict instruction to report on "CAFC 2026 dockets", and the absence of direct hits in the search results, I should state that no direct CAFC dockets for 2026 were found for this patent.

I have all the information to provide the concise summary and plain-language overviews of the independent claims from the patent text.

Therefore, I will now compile the answer.Here's a concise summary of US Patent 10810050:

US Patent 10810050: Virtual systems management

• Title: Virtual systems management
• Assignee: WYE IP CAPITAL LLC (as of 2025-09-29)
• Inventor: Vipul Pabari
• Filing Date: 2016-07-01 (for application US15/201,087, which this patent is a continuation of)
• Issue Date: 2020-10-20
• Abstract: The patent describes an apparatus and method for automatic configuration management within a network, particularly for virtualization systems. It involves managing physical resources and virtual assets via a virtualization layer. The system receives requests for virtual asset provisioning with specified parameters and then automatically provisions a suitable virtual asset to a physical resource that matches those parameters. The provisioned virtual asset is assigned to the request, and user access is provided.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Independent Claim 1 (Method Claim): This claim describes a method for automatically managing a network's virtual components. It starts by having a virtualization system that keeps track of both physical computer hardware (resources) and virtual computer instances (assets). These virtual assets are essentially software versions of computer systems managed by a virtualization layer on the physical hardware. The method then involves receiving a request to set up a virtual asset, where this request specifies certain requirements. It also takes into account the available inventory of physical resources and virtual assets. Based on this information, the system automatically selects a physical resource and deploys a virtual asset onto it that meets the requested requirements. Finally, the newly provisioned virtual asset is assigned to the original request, and the user is granted access to it.
• Independent Claim 11 (Apparatus Claim): This claim defines a system (apparatus) that performs the functions described in Claim 1. It includes a virtualization system that holds an inventory of physical resources and virtual assets, which are managed by a virtualization layer running on the physical hardware. The apparatus has an input to receive virtual asset provisioning requests (including their specific parameters) and data about the available inventory. A "virtualization system manager" component within the apparatus is responsible for automatically provisioning a virtual asset to a physical resource that matches the request's parameters, assigning that provisioned asset to the request, and enabling user access to it.

CAFC 2026 Dockets:
A search for CAFC 2026 dockets for US Patent 10810050 did not yield any direct results. The patent's public information indicates a PTAB case (IPR2026-00296) was filed in 2026 and a US case was filed in the Texas Eastern District Court (2:25-cv-00943) in 2025. While appeals from these venues involving patent matters can go to the CAFC, there is no direct record of such an appeal in the CAFC dockets for 2026 at this time.
