Strategic summary
As of the current date, there are no recorded AIA trial proceedings (IPR, PGR, or CBM) against US Patent 9,320,041. This means all claims of the patent (claims 1-20) are currently untested by the PTAB. The absence of PTAB challenges for an active patent, especially one that has been asserted in litigation (as indicated by the "Family has litigation" status on Google Patents), can be a signal. It might suggest that the patent owner has not been aggressive in enforcement, or that potential challengers have not found sufficiently compelling prior art to warrant a PTAB petition.
Given the lack of PTAB proceedings, there is no estoppel landscape established under § 315(e)(2). A defendant currently being asserted against would have all prior-art grounds available to them in a potential IPR, provided they meet the statutory requirements for filing. There is no pattern of filings by specific petitioners or aggressive appeals by the patent owner to observe.
Recommended next steps
If you are a defendant facing assertion of US patent 9,320,041, the absence of PTAB activity means that the claims remain untested in this forum. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge. You have a clear path to file an IPR if you identify strong prior art under § 102 or § 103, without being limited by prior PTAB decisions or estoppel. However, it also means the patent claims have not been "hardened" by surviving PTAB scrutiny, and the full scope of their validity against prior art would need to be litigated either in district court or through a newly filed PTAB petition.
