Litigation summary
Past and pending lawsuits — plaintiffs, defendants, jurisdictions, outcomes, and notable rulings.
As a patent attorney on May 8, 2026, I have reviewed the litigation history for U.S. Patent No. 11,991,234 B2.
Contrary to the information in the previously generated "Patent summary," which stated that a search of CAFC dockets yielded no results, the authoritative patent text provided for this analysis explicitly lists several legal proceedings. The following is a detailed summary of known litigation involving this specific patent, based on the provided patent documentation and further research.
Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Proceedings
1. IPR2024-00940
- Petitioner: Aylo Freesites Ltd.
- Patent Owner: DISH Technologies LLC
- Jurisdiction: USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board
- Case Number: IPR2024-00940
- Filing Date: I am unable to confirm the specific filing date with high confidence.
- Outcome/Status: The authoritative patent text indicates a "Final Written Decision" was reached. On February 3, 2026, a decision was made to vacate the Final Written Decision and terminate the proceeding. This occurred because the petitioner had to add a real party in interest, which resulted in the petition being accorded a new, later filing date, rendering it time-barred under 35 U.S.C. § 315(b).
2. IPR2024-00941
- Petitioner: I am unable to confirm the petitioner with high confidence.
- Patent Owner: DISH Technologies LLC
- Jurisdiction: USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board
- Case Number: IPR2024-00941
- Filing Date: I am unable to confirm the specific filing date with high confidence.
- Outcome/Status: The authoritative patent text describes the status as "Not Instituted - Procedural." This indicates the PTAB declined to initiate an Inter Partes Review on procedural grounds.
