Proceedings overview
There are no AIA trial proceedings on file for US Patent 9,522,163 as of the most recent ingest from the USPTO Open Data Portal, and web searches did not surface any older or recently-filed proceedings. This gives a defendant a posture where the patent's claims remain untested by AIA trial mechanisms, meaning prior art challenges via IPR, PGR, or CBM are still available.
Strategic summary
All claims of US9522163 are currently UNTESTED by AIA trial proceedings. There have been no IPRs, PGRs, or CBMs filed against this patent. This means that the patent owner has not yet had to defend the patentability of its claims before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
The absence of PTAB activity signals that the patent may not have been aggressively asserted or challenged to date in a manner that would typically trigger such proceedings. For a potential defendant, this implies that the full range of prior-art grounds remains available for an IPR or PGR challenge, as there is no estoppel landscape established by prior PTAB decisions.
Recommended next steps
Since no PTAB activity exists for US9522163, a defendant facing assertion of this patent has several strategic options. An IPR or PGR petition (if eligible) could be considered to challenge the patentability of the claims based on prior art. The absence of prior challenges means that a comprehensive prior art search would be a crucial first step to identify strong grounds for a petition.
