Strategic summary
Currently, all claims of US patent 10936685 are UNTESTED by AIA trial proceedings. This means that no claims have been canceled or sustained in an IPR, PGR, or CBM. The estoppel landscape is entirely open, as no prior art grounds have been litigated at the PTAB. Any prior art grounds are still available for a defendant currently being asserted against. The absence of PTAB activity is notable for a patent that is the subject of litigation, as well-asserted patents often attract IPRs. The Google Patents page indicates that there is family litigation associated with this patent, including cases filed in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the California Central District Court, but no IPRs have been filed.
Recommended next steps
If you are a defendant facing assertion of US patent 10936685, the primary recommendation is to carefully consider filing an AIA trial proceeding, such as an Inter Partes Review (IPR), if viable prior art can be identified. The patent is currently untested, which presents an opportunity to challenge its validity at the PTAB. There are no active proceedings to monitor for milestones.
