Recommended next steps
Since no PTAB activity currently exists for US Patent 7676007, the following steps are recommended:
- For a potential defendant: The absence of PTAB activity means that all claims of US7676007 are currently untested in an AIA trial. If facing assertion, a defendant has the full range of prior art and statutory grounds (including §§ 102, 103, and 112) available for a potential IPR or PGR challenge, subject to the statutory time bars (e.g., one year from service of a complaint for IPR). This represents a significant opportunity to challenge the patent's validity before the PTAB without the estoppel constraints that would arise from prior proceedings.
- Monitor for future filings: It is advisable to set up alerts to monitor for any newly filed IPR, PGR, or CBM petitions against US7676007. As the patent remains active until 2028-08-29, and given its history of district court litigation, future PTAB challenges remain possible.
