Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Proceedings
The validity of US patent 11,470,138 has also been challenged through inter partes review (IPR) petitions filed with the PTAB.
Aylo Freesites Ltd. v. DISH Technologies L.L.C.

- Case Number: IPR2024-00901
- Status: This IPR is related to U.S. Patent No. 11,677,798 B2, which is often litigated alongside 11,470,138. The search results do not specify if patent 11,470,138 is directly part of this IPR, but it is a related proceeding to the district court case against FuboTV.
The extensive litigation and administrative challenges indicate that U.S. Patent No. 11,470,138 is a significant asset for DISH Technologies, which the company is actively enforcing. The pattern of litigation followed by voluntary dismissals in some cases may suggest that settlements are being reached.
