Strategic summary
Currently, all claims of US Patent 12433239 are UNTESTED by any PTAB Final Written Decision. The sole proceeding, PGR2026-00066, is a Post-Grant Review that was only filed yesterday, 2026-07-06, and is still pending an institution decision. This means there is no estoppel landscape established yet, and all prior-art grounds are potentially available to a defendant. The patent owner, PetPivot Inc., has not yet had to defend its claims at the PTAB. The petitioner, FENUN Inc., et al., is a new entity in the context of this patent, and there is no pattern of multiple IPRs or aggressive PTAB appeals by the patent owner at this time.
Recommended next steps
If you are a defendant facing assertion of US12433239 today, it is crucial to monitor PGR2026-00066. The institution decision deadline for this PGR will be around 2027-01-06 (six months from the filing date). If the PGR is instituted, a Final Written Decision would typically be due one year after institution. Given the early stage of this proceeding, you would need to develop your own invalidity defenses, but the outcome of PGR2026-00066 could provide valuable insights or alter the status of the asserted claims.
