Strategic summary
The patent US9946369 currently has one active Inter Partes Review proceeding, IPR2022-00325, filed by [[Samsung Electronics Co.](/litigations/by-defendant/Samsung%20Electronics%20Co.), Ltd.](/litigations/by-plaintiff/Samsung%20Electronics%20Co.%2C%20Ltd.), and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. against Power2B, Inc. The proceeding was instituted on December 17, 2021. As the proceeding is still active, there are no claims that are CANCELED or SUSTAINED through a Final Written Decision yet. Therefore, all claims remain UNTESTED by a final PTAB decision at this time.
The estoppel landscape will be determined by the outcome of IPR2022-00325. If claims are challenged and found unpatentable, the petitioner (Samsung and its privies) would be estopped from asserting grounds raised or that could have reasonably been raised in future proceedings against those claims. Currently, for a defendant being asserted against, prior-art grounds remain available, pending the outcome of the active IPR. There are no immediate pattern signals of multiple IPRs by the same petitioner on this patent or aggressive PTAB appeals from the patent owner, other than this single, ongoing proceeding.
Recommended next steps
The IPR2022-00325 proceeding is active. Defendants should monitor the trial-stage milestones, including the oral hearing and the Final Written Decision due date (which, given the institution date of December 17, 2021, would typically be within one year of institution).
