Patent summary
Title, assignee, inventors, filing/issue dates, abstract, and a plain-language overview of the claims.
US patent 11349200, titled "Multiple-body-configuration multimedia and smartphone multifunction wireless devices," was issued to Fractus SA. The patent lists Carles Puente Baliarda, Josep Mumbru, and Jordi Ilario as inventors. It was filed on April 30, 2021, and granted on May 31, 2022.
The abstract describes a multifunction wireless device (MFWD) that includes at least multimedia functionality, smartphone functionality, or both. This device features an upper body and a lower body designed to move relative to each other (e.g., clamshell, slide, or twist). The MFWD incorporates an antenna system within one or both bodies. The antenna's shape is characterized by a specific level of complexity in its contour, defined by complexity factors F21 (between 1.05 and 1.80) and F32 (between 1.10 and 1.90). Alternatively, the MFWD may include a microprocessor and operating system capable of running word-processing, spreadsheet, and slide software, with at least 1 GB of memory. Another alternative describes an MFWD with a receiver for audio signals, an image recording system (e.g., a 2 Megapixel image sensor, flash, optical zoom, digital zoom), and data storage of at least 1 GB. In these alternative embodiments, the antenna system similarly features a contour with complexity factors F21 (between 1.05 and 1.80) and F32 (between 1.10 and 1.90).
The patent includes three independent claims:
- Independent Claim 1 (Claim 1): This claim describes a multifunction wireless device (MFWD) that has at least one of multimedia or smartphone functionality. The device is characterized by having an upper body and a lower body that can move relative to each other in a clamshell, slide, or twist motion. It also includes an antenna system located within either the upper or lower body. The antenna system's shape has a certain complexity, defined by a "complexity factor F21" which is at least 1.05 and not greater than 1.80, and a "complexity factor F32" which is at least 1.10 and not greater than 1.90.
- Independent Claim 13: This claim describes a multifunction wireless device (MFWD) with at least one of multimedia or smartphone functionality. This device is capable of running word-processing, spreadsheet, and slide software applications due to its microprocessor and operating system. It also has at least 1 GB of memory connected to the microprocessor. Similar to Claim 1, it includes an antenna system with a shape defined by a complexity factor F21 of at least 1.05 and not greater than 1.80, and a complexity factor F32 of at least 1.10 and not greater than 1.90.
- Independent Claim 14: This claim outlines a multifunction wireless device (MFWD) with at least one of multimedia or smartphone functionality. This device includes a receiver for analog and/or digital sound signals, an image recording system (which has at least one component like a 2 Megapixel image sensor, flash, optical zoom, or digital zoom), and data storage with a capacity of at least 1 GB. Again, the device incorporates an antenna system whose shape is characterized by a complexity factor F21 of at least 1.05 and not greater than 1.80, and a complexity factor F32 of at least 1.10 and not greater than 1.90.
Regarding CAFC dockets for 2026, a search for "US11349200B2" or "11349200" in the provided CAFC 2026 docket information did not yield specific case filings or scheduled cases for this exact patent number. The search results provided general access to scheduled cases by month (April, May, June 2026) but did not contain a searchable database or specific case listings that could be queried with a patent number. Therefore, I cannot authoritatively confirm any CAFC 2026 litigation for this patent at this time.
