Proceedings overview
There are no AIA trial proceedings on file for U.S. Patent 10,979,693 as of the current date, 2026-05-29. This means the patent's claims remain untested by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, and no claims have been invalidated or confirmed through IPR, PGR, or CBM trials.
Strategic summary
Currently, all claims of U.S. Patent 10,979,693 are UNTESTED at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Since no PTAB proceedings have been filed, there are no canceled or sustained claims through this avenue. The absence of PTAB activity means there is no estoppel landscape to consider under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(2) because no petitioner has yet challenged the patent in an AIA trial. All prior-art grounds remain available for a potential defendant to raise in a future PTAB challenge or district court litigation.
There are no discernible PTAB pattern signals (e.g., repeated petitions by the same entity, aggressive appeals by the patent owner, or involvement of defensive aggregators) because the patent has not been subjected to any AIA trial proceedings.
Recommended next steps
Since no PTAB activity exists for U.S. Patent 10,979,693, if you are a defendant facing assertion of this patent, your options for an AIA trial remain entirely open. The absence of PTAB challenges for a patent that issued in 2021 and has been actively assigned to patent licensing entities (Artificial Intelligence Imaging Association Inc. is the current assignee) is notable. Well-asserted patents often attract IPRs.
Consider a comprehensive prior art search tailored to the asserted claims to evaluate the strength of potential IPR or PGR challenges. If a demand letter cites any of the patent's claims, assessing their validity through a PTAB trial could be a viable defensive strategy.
