Strategic summary
As there are no PTAB proceedings on file for US12036336, all claims of the patent (claims 1-12) remain untested and fully enforceable from a PTAB perspective. There are no estoppel implications under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(2) as no petitions have been filed or instituted.
The absence of PTAB activity can be interpreted in several ways. It might suggest that the patent has not yet been asserted aggressively enough to provoke a challenge, or that potential challengers have not found sufficiently compelling prior art to warrant filing a petition. For a defendant facing assertion of this patent, this means all potential prior art grounds are still available for an IPR or other challenge, assuming the statutory window for such actions is open.
Recommended next steps
If you are a defendant facing assertion of US12036336, the absence of PTAB activity means that all claims are currently presumed valid without any PTAB-level challenges.
- Consider filing an IPR/PGR: If you have strong prior art, an Inter Partes Review (IPR) could be a viable strategy to challenge the patent's validity. Since the patent was granted on 2024-07-16, the one-year window for filing a Post-Grant Review (PGR) from the grant date has passed. However, an IPR can generally be filed at any time after the later of (1) nine months after the grant of the patent, or (2) the date of termination of any PGR of the patent, up until a complaint for infringement is filed and served (with a one-year bar from service). Given the publication date was 2024-07-16, an IPR could be filed.
- Prior Art Search: Conduct a thorough prior art search to identify any strong prior art references that could form the basis of an IPR petition under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and/or 103.
- Legal Analysis: Engage patent counsel to conduct a comprehensive legal analysis of the patent claims against the identified prior art to determine the likelihood of success in a PTAB proceeding.
