Proceedings overview

As of the current date, May 29, 2026, there are no AIA trial proceedings (Inter Partes Review, Post-Grant Review, or Covered Business Method review) on file for US Patent 9,242,502. Both the USPTO Open Data Portal API and a direct web search for PTAB proceedings related to this patent yielded no results.

Strategic summary

Currently, all claims of US9242502 remain untested in AIA trial proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. This means that none of the claims have been challenged or invalidated through IPR, PGR, or CBM processes.

The absence of PTAB activity suggests that the patent has not yet faced the scrutiny of these post-grant challenges. For a defendant facing assertion of this patent, the entire range of prior-art grounds under §§ 102 and 103 (for IPR) and potentially other grounds like § 112 (for PGR/CBM) are still available for a petition, assuming statutory requirements for filing are met. There is no estoppel landscape established by prior PTAB decisions that would bar a potential petitioner from raising certain grounds.

Recommended next steps

Since no PTAB activity exists for US9242502, a potential defendant facing assertion of this patent would have the option to file an AIA trial petition (such as an IPR or PGR, depending on the patent's issue date and claims) to challenge the patentability of the claims. The absence of prior challenges means that the patent's claims have not been "hardened" by surviving PTAB review, and all prior art grounds remain open for consideration.
