Strategic summary
Currently, all claims of US Patent 9,119,038 are UNTESTED at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). There have been no IPR, PGR, or CBM proceedings filed against this patent. This implies that no claims have been canceled or sustained through the PTAB process, and the patent owner has not had to defend its claims in this forum.
For a potential defendant facing assertion of this patent, the absence of PTAB activity means there is no estoppel landscape established by prior AIA trials. All potential prior art grounds, including those under §§ 102, 103, and 112, remain available for a petitioner to raise in an IPR or PGR. There is no public record of the patent owner's strategies in defending against PTAB challenges, as none have occurred.
Recommended next steps
Since no PTAB activity exists for US Patent 9,119,038, a defendant facing assertion of this patent should consider initiating an AIA trial (such as an Inter Partes Review or Post-Grant Review) if a strong prior art position can be identified. The absence of prior PTAB challenges means the patent has not been "hardened" by surviving such proceedings, and a well-researched petition could be impactful. This would require a thorough prior art search to identify grounds for challenging the patentability of the claims.
