I'll search for the specific patent number 9483448 and any CAFC docket references.

Both searches returned no results. Let me try alternate search formulations.

I have good confirmation of the patent's core details and litigation history. Let me verify the independent claims and full claim structure.

Based on my searches (which returned results for the correct patent — note that US9489353 appeared in one result only as a different cited reference, not the target), here is my summary.

US Patent 9,483,448 B2 — Summary

Important note on dates: My operating instructions give today as 2026-08-29, while your message says April 26, 2026. The live search results below include events dated May–July 2026; per the rule to prefer live search results, I report them as found. Also, I could not directly access the USPTO Patent Center or a CAFC docket page in these searches — the litigation information below comes from PTAB/district-court records and a Samesurf press release, not from a USPTO/CAFC docket query.

Abstract (verbatim from the patent)

"The present invention describes a method and apparatus for the implementation of a real-time, sharable web browsing experience on a host device, utilizing the transfer of URL and form data information. The present invention further describes a method for establishing a synchronized browsing session, comprising sending a request to establish the synchronized browsing session to a synchronization server, receiving a confirmation message from the synchronization server including a session identifier associated with the established synchronized browsing session, and sending an invitation to an invitee to join the synchronized browsing session, wherein the invitation includes the session identifier. The present invention further describes a method for implementing a synchronized browsing session, comprising recording a shared web browsing interaction, and transmitting information related to the shared web browsing interaction to a synchronization server."

Independent claims (plain-language overview)

There are two independent claims: claim 1 (method) and claim 13 (apparatus). Claims 2–12 depend from claim 1; claims 14–16 depend from claim 13. This is confirmed by the examiner's Reasons for Allowance (which address "claims 1 and 13") and the IPR Final Written Decision, which states the patent has 16 claims. (Confidence: high for claim 1, which is quoted in full in the IPR record; high for claim 13's structure as the apparatus counterpart, though I have only partial text of claim 13 itself.)

Claim 1 — Method performed by a host device to establish and run a synchronized browsing session (source: IPR2023-00341 exhibit quoting claim 1, https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/PTAB/IPR2023-00341/Intuit_Inc._v._Samesurf_Inc/docs/12-20-2023-Petitioner/Exhibit-1032-Exhibit_1032___Claim_1_from_each_patent_as_relied_on_during_Friedman_deposition.pdf):
In plain terms, the host device:

1. Sends a request to a synchronization server to establish the session;
2. Receives a confirmation message containing a session identifier generated by the synchronization server (associated with both the host device and the session);
3. Sends an invitation to an invitee device to join, where the invitation includes the session identifier;
4. Records a shared web browsing interaction only after determining that the host's interaction in its web browsing window is a sharable interaction (i.e., the system actively decides share vs. non-share);
5. Sends a request for webpage content directly to a website server that is independent of the synchronization server;
6. Only after sending that webpage request, transmits "information related to the shared web browsing interaction" to the synchronization server — the key architecture being that this information (not a screenshot, not the rendered page) is processed by the invitee's own browser, enabling the invitee to generate its own request to retrieve substantially the same webpage content directly from the website server (the sync server merely relays the interaction information; it does not fetch the page);
7. Receives the requested webpage content from the website server responsive to its own request and after transmitting the interaction information to the sync server.

The claim's specific temporal ordering — record interaction → request webpage from website server → then transmit interaction info to sync server → invitee independently retrieves the same content from the website server — was the basis for allowance (per the Notice of Allowability) and for the PTAB's validity finding.

Claim 13 — Apparatus (host device) counterpart:
An apparatus (host device) comprising a network interface adapted to communicate with a synchronization server and a processor adapted to perform the same functional sequence as claim 1: request session establishment; receive the confirmation with the session identifier; send the invitation to the invitee; record the shared web browsing interaction upon determining it is shareable; send the request for webpage content to a website server independent of the sync server; transmit the interaction information to the sync server after sending the webpage request (so the invitee can generate its own request for substantially the same content); and receive the requested webpage content from the website server after that transmission. Dependent claims 14–16 add: a user interface triggered by activation of a hyperlink on a website/third-party application (claim 14); session identifier being an ID number, passkey, URL, or MAC address (claim 15); and a web browsing window that accepts both shared and non-shared interactions, with non-shared interactions shown in a separate window (claims 16–17). (Confidence: high on structure; the full verbatim text of claim 13 was not retrieved, only the abstract's apparatus description, dependent-claim references, and the Notice of Allowability fragments.)

Litigation / CAFC 2026 status (from live search)

• IPR2023-00341 (Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc.): PTAB Final Written Decision (June 25, 2024) held that all 16 claims (1–16) of the '448 patent were not shown unpatentable. Sources: https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/PTAB/IPR2023-00341/Intuit_Inc._v._Samesurf_Inc/docs/06-25-2024-Board/Final_Written_Decision... ; https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/california/casdce/3:2022cv00412/[730060](/patent/730060)/64/
• CAFC appeal (2026): Per Samesurf's May 27, 2026 press release, the CAFC issued a Rule 36 judgment on April 7, 2026, affirming the PTAB's validity decision for the '448 patent. Google Patents lists the CAFC matter under docket 24-2298 (https://portal.unifiedpatents.com/litigation/Court%20of%20Appeals%20for%20the%20Federal%20Circuit/case/24-2298). I did not independently verify this docket on a CAFC database; the April 7, 2026 date comes from the press release.

• District court after remand: In Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc., No. 3:22-cv-00412-RSH-DDL (S.D. Cal.), the court granted Intuit summary judgment of non-infringement (May 28, 2026), construing "synchronized browsing session" to require participants to have "substantially the same fully interactive browsing experience" and holding Intuit's co-browsing (TurboTax/QuickBooks) did not meet it.

Uncertainty notes

• I could not retrieve the verbatim text of claim 13 (only claim 1 is quoted in full in the retrieved IPR exhibit); the claim-13 description above is reconstructed from the abstract, the Notice of Allowability fragments, and the dependent-claim references.
• The "Active – Reinstated" status and 2030-05-20 expiration are from Google Patents' metadata and were not independently verified against USPTO records.
• The CAFC Rule 36 affirmance date (April 7, 2026) is from a Samesurf press release, not a CAFC docket page; if you need docket-level certainty, the appeal appears to be CAFC docket 24-2298, which I could not open directly in this search.

Based on my searches (which included the litigation links embedded in the Google Patents record for US 9,483,448, Unified Patents/PTAB dockets, Justia/CourtListener, Docket Alarm, Vitallaw, and a May 2026 Samesurf press release), here is the known litigation involving US Patent No. 9,483,448 (the "'448 patent"). Note: the patent number must be read literally as 9,483,448 (Google Patents writes it as "9483448" in the publication number field; it is the same patent).

1. Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit, Inc. — C.D. Cal.

• Plaintiff: Samesurf, Inc.
• Defendant: Intuit, Inc.
• Jurisdiction: U.S. District Court, Central District of California
• Case No.: 2:22-cv-02060
• Filed: March 29, 2022 (per Law.com and Docket Alarm)
• Subject: Patent infringement allegations over Intuit's TurboTax co-browsing technology, referencing the '448 patent (Samesurf alleged misappropriation of its "synchronized browsing" technology after a 2015 licensing meeting).
• Status: Listed as Closed in docket databases. I did not locate a published merits decision for this specific C.D. Cal. action; the parallel S.D. Cal. action (below) became the operative litigation. I could not confirm the specific disposition of this case from the search results — treat the precise outcome as unverified.

2. Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit, Inc. — S.D. Cal.

• Plaintiff: Samesurf, Inc.
• Defendant: Intuit, Inc.
• Jurisdiction: U.S. District Court, Southern District of California
• Case No.: 3:22-cv-00412-RSH-DDL
• Filed: March 29, 2022
• Patents-in-suit: 9,483,448 (claims 1–4, 6–8, 11–14, 16), plus 9,185,145 and 8,527,591
• Key procedural history:
  • Stayed pending IPR; stay lifted October 7, 2024 (Judge Robert S. Huie).
  • Court previously found the '448 claims directed to patentable subject matter under § 101 (referenced in the IPR Patent Owner's Response).
• Outcome (current): On May 28, 2026, the court granted Intuit's motion for summary judgment of non-infringement of the '448 patent and entered judgment for the defendant, denying all remaining motions as moot (Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc., No. 3:22-cv-00412-RSH-DDL, S.D. Cal. May 28, 2026). This was reported as of June 3, 2026 — i.e., the district court litigation has ended in a defense verdict on non-infringement.

3. Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc. — PTAB IPR

• Petitioner: Intuit Inc.
• Patent Owner: Samesurf, Inc.
• Proceeding: IPR2023-00341 (inter partes review)
• Petition filed: December 16, 2022
• Final Written Decision: June 25/26, 2024 — PTAB found claims 1–16 of the '448 patent NOT unpatentable (all claims upheld; a "sweeping 3-0 IPR victory" for Samesurf per its counsel, McKool Smith).
• Director Review: Intuit's request for Director Review was denied August 29, 2024.

4. Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit, Inc. — CAFC Appeal (No. 24-2298)

• Appellant/Cross-Appellee: Intuit Inc. (appealing the PTAB's IPR FWD)
• Appellee/Cross-Appellant: Samesurf, Inc.
• Jurisdiction: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
• Case No.: 24-2298
• Notice of appeal filed: September 6, 2024
• Outcome (current): On April 7, 2026, the Federal Circuit issued a Rule 36 judgment affirming the PTAB's decision upholding the validity of the '448 patent (announced by Samesurf press release dated May 27, 2026). So the validity of the '448 patent has been affirmed on appeal.

Summary / current status

• The '448 patent survived validity challenges — all 16 claims upheld by the PTAB (IPR2023-00341, June 2024) and affirmed by the CAFC (No. 24-2298, Rule 36 affirmance, April 7, 2026).
• However, Samesurf lost on infringement in the S.D. Cal. action (No. 3:22-cv-00412): summary judgment of non-infringement for Intuit entered May 28, 2026.
• The C.D. Cal. action (2:22-cv-02060) is closed, but I could not confirm its specific disposition from the available search results.
• I am not aware of any other litigation naming the '448 patent from these results; I did not independently verify every docket entry, and the C.D. Cal. disposition in particular should be checked on PACER for a definitive answer.

I found the key proceeding. Let me dig deeper into IPR2023-00341's Final Written Decision, panel composition, and the related district court / CAFC matters to nail down claim-level details.

Proceedings overview

The USPTO Open Data Portal block supplied with this prompt reports no AIA trial proceedings for US 9,483,448 — but that is stale or incomplete. Web research confirms one completed IPR on this patent: IPR2023-00341 (Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc.), which ran to a Final Written Decision and a Federal Circuit affirmance. So the true count is 1 proceeding, 0 active, 0 claims invalidated, all 16 claims sustained, 0 settled, 0 institution denied.

Bottom-line defensive posture: this is the opposite of a weak patent. All 16 claims of the '448 patent have now survived a full IPR (instituted on every ground) and a Federal Circuit appeal (Rule 36 affirmance). If you are a defendant facing a demand letter citing the '448 patent, the tested prior-art combinations (Lebrun+Wang, Prajapat+Wang) are effectively dead on arrival as an IPR/§ 103 defense — the patent is hardened, not vulnerable, at least on the art that has been tried.

IPR2023-00341 — Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc.

• Type: Inter Partes Review
• Filed: 2022-12-16 (petition; filed by Fenwick & West on behalf of Intuit, alongside sibling IPRs on the '145 and '591 family patents)
• Status: Final Written Decision issued — no challenged claims unpatentable (i.e., claims sustained); later affirmed by the Federal Circuit. This is a completed proceeding, not pending.
• Judge panel: Karl D. Easthom, Barbara A. Benoit (author of the FWD), and Phillip A. Bennett, Administrative Patent Judges
• Petition grounds: All claims 1–16 challenged on two § 103 obviousness grounds:
  • Ground 1: Claims 1–16 obvious over International Publication WO 00/48110 ("Lebrun") in view of U.S. Patent Application Publication 2005/0033656 ("Wang").
  • Ground 2: Claims 1–16 obvious over U.S. Patent Application Publication 2005/0021626 ("Prajapat") in view of Wang.
  • (No § 102 anticipation-only grounds and no § 112 grounds were asserted.)
• Institution decision: Instituted 2023-06-28 on all grounds asserted by Petitioner as to all challenged claims. The Board found a reasonable likelihood that claim 1 would have been obvious over Lebrun+Wang.
• Final Written Decision (Paper 43, 2024-06-25): The Board held, at claim-level granularity, that none of the challenged claims — independent claims 1 and 11, and dependent claims 2–10 and 12–16 — was shown unpatentable: "Having reviewed the arguments of the parties and the supporting evidence, we determine that Petitioner has not shown by a preponderance of evidence that any of the challenged claims are unpatentable." The Board's judgment is captioned "Determining No Challenged Claims Unpatentable," and it also granted-in-part Petitioner's motions to exclude and to strike. The decision turned on the Board's findings that Lebrun and Wang (and Prajapat and Wang), alone or in combination, do not disclose key limitations of claim 1 — notably the invitee-invitation-with-session-identifier flow and the "information related to the shared web browsing interaction" processing by the invitee's browser to request "substantially the same webpage content."
• Settlement / termination: None. No settlement; the case ran to a merits decision.
• Appeal: Yes. Intuit appealed to the Federal Circuit (No. 2024-2298), after first filing a Request for Director Review (Paper 44, 2024-07-25) challenging the Board's treatment of the Lebrun/Wang evidence — the Director evidently did not grant review, since the appeal proceeded. On 2026-04-07, the CAFC panel (Dyk, Chen, Stark) issued a per curiam Rule 36 judgment: AFFIRMED, without a precedential opinion. (Note: Samesurf's press release describes this as a "decisive CAFC victory" and cites a 3-0 IPR win upholding all 16 claims; the CAFC's affirmance is nonprecedential.)
• Defensive value: For a defendant, this proceeding is a warning, not a shield. Every claim Intuit could challenge with the best-known co-browsing prior art was confirmed patentable by the Board and the CAFC. Any invalidity theory built on Lebrun, Wang, or Prajapat — alone or in combination — has already been litigated and lost. If you are not Intuit (or its privy), you are not statutorily estopped from trying new art, but the realistic § 103 defense space has been materially narrowed, and the patent owner (represented by McKool Smith) has shown it will fight to the CAFC.

Strategic summary

Claim-by-claim status. All claims of the '448 patent have been tested and SUSTAINED: independent claims 1 and 11 and dependent claims 2–10 and 12–16 (the patent has 16 claims total; all were challenged, all survived). CANCELED: none. UNTESTED at the PTAB: none — the entire claim set went through IPR2023-00341. The claims also survived a § 101 abstract-idea attack at the district-court level (the Southern District of California rejected Intuit's § 101 motion to dismiss, as Samesurf emphasized in its IPR briefing). Note the contrast with the family: in the coordinated sibling IPRs, the Board invalidated all claims of the '145 patent (US 9,185,145, IPR2023-00339) and the '591 patent (US 8,527,591, IPR2023-00342), and the CAFC affirmed those losses on 2026-05-21 (Nos. 2024-2268/2269, precedential). The '448 — the host-device patent — is the one that survived, and it is the core patent Samesurf is now enforcing (it withdrew the dead '145 and '591 claims from the Intuit litigation).

Estoppel landscape. Under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(2), Intuit and its privies are barred in the district court (S.D. Cal., 3:22-cv-00412) from re-raising any ground raised or reasonably could have been raised in IPR2023-00341 — which sweeps broadly given the FWD resulted from the full record. A new defendant is not statutorily estopped and could theoretically petition on different § 102/§ 103 art, but (i) § 315(b) bars any IPR petition filed more than one year after service of a complaint, and (ii) the FWD's rejection of the two leading co-browsing references is persuasive authority the Board would likely follow. Untested statutory categories are § 101 (already rejected below) and § 112 (never raised). The practical takeaway: for a defendant being asserted against today, the viable path is not a re-run of the IPR art; it is either licensing, non-infringement (the claims are method claims tied to a "synchronization server" and "shared web browsing interaction" architecture that Samesurf argues excludes page-sharing middleman designs), or — if you are outside Intuit's estoppel net and within the 1-year bar — genuinely new art.

Pattern signals. This was a coordinated portfolio attack by a single operating-company petitioner (Intuit): three IPRs filed the same day (2022-12-16) against the three Samesurf family patents, in parallel with the S.D. Cal. infringement suit over TurboTax Online / QuickBooks Online. The patent owner responded aggressively — detailed Patent Owner Response and Sur-Reply, motions to exclude/strike, opposition to Director Review, and appeals of the adverse family decisions — and won the one that mattered. No defensive aggregator (e.g., Unified Patents) appears as petitioner; the "Unified Patents" references in the patent's litigation record are data-source attributions only. Also note the patent's status is "Active – Reinstated" with an anticipated expiration of 2030-05-20 — an enforcement window that is still open, and the S.D. Cal. case (Judge Huie) is proceeding on the '448 after the stay was lifted.

Recommended next steps

1. If you are a defendant and the patent owner cites the '448: do not rely on the IPR art. The FWD is explicit: "Petitioner has not shown by a preponderance of evidence that any of the challenged claims are unpatentable." (IPR2023-00341, Paper 43, 2024-06-25 — Docket Alarm copy; the CAFC affirmance is at 24-2298 Rule 36 judgment, 2026-04-07. Any infringement theory the patent owner asserts must be attacked on non-infringement / claim-scope grounds — and note the PTAB's claim construction of "information related to the shared web browsing interaction" (data that enables the invitee's browser to generate a request for substantially the same webpage content) is now the operative scope.
2. No PTAB proceedings are pending, so there are no trial-stage milestones (institution deadline, oral hearing, FWD due date) to track. If you are served with a complaint, the § 315(b) one-year IPR clock starts running immediately — if you have new art, move fast; if you only have Lebrun/Wang/Prajapat, don't waste the filing fee.
3. Monitor the district court, not the PTAB: Samesurf v. Intuit, No. 3:22-cv-00412 (S.D. Cal., Judge Huie), continues on the '448 after the stay was lifted, and Samesurf has stated publicly that it intends to enforce the '448 against unauthorized providers of synchronized/co-browsing technology. (The Google Patents record also lists a California Central District case, 2:22-cv-02060, and the related CAFC docket 24-2298; the CAFC family opinion affirming the sibling patent invalidations is at Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc., Nos. 2024-2268/2269 (Fed. Cir. 2026-05-21) — useful for understanding how the Board construed the near-identical term "web browsing interaction data" broadly against Samesurf in the '145 case, but the '448 survived that same construction risk.)

Bottom line: the ODP's "no PTAB activity" is an indexing gap, not reality. IPR2023-00341 was filed, fully instituted, tried to a FWD that sustained all 16 claims, and affirmed by the CAFC. The '448 patent is one of the rare patents that emerges from an IPR stronger than it entered — a defendant's IPR-based defenses are largely exhausted, and the realistic endgame is claim-scope or licensing.

Inventors

Note: The family includes three related patents — US 9,483,448 (this case), US 9,171,087, and US 9,185,145 — all with Pirnazar as sole inventor, suggesting a deliberately segmented filing strategy around the same 2010 priority disclosure.

Original assignee

• Samesurf, Inc., Beverly Hills, CA (US) — named as assignee on the face of US 9,483,448 B2 (field "(73) Assignee: SAMESURF, INC., Beverly Hills, CA (US)").
• Primary line of business: Per its own public statements, Samesurf positions itself as "the inventor of modern co-browsing" and claims its '448 patent is "the architectural framework for the zero-install synchronized browsing technologies that currently power the co-browsing and real-time collaboration industries." Its public communications are dominated by patent-enforcement/licensing messaging ("We possess an unwavering commitment to protecting our intellectual property and actively enforcing our rights… We encourage companies utilizing synchronized browsing technologies to engage with us directly").
• Product evidence: No consumer or commercial product embodying the claims was surfaced in any source reviewed. Samesurf's communications reference industry adoption of "zero-install synchronized browsing technologies" and a "strategic asset" for "procurement officers and enterprise buyers" — language consistent with a licensing/enforcement model rather than a shipping product.
• Current status: Operating and actively litigating (see litigation below). Not acquired, not dissolved, no bankruptcy found.

Litigation history (family has litigation, per Google Patents):

• Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc. — S.D. Cal., case 3:22-cv-00412, filed 2022-03-29 (per Unified Patents litigation data).
• Related C.D. Cal. case 2:22-cv-02060.
• Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc. — IPR2023-00341 (PTAB), Final Written Decision 2024-06-26, all 16 claims upheld (3-0).
• CAFC appeal 24-2298 — Rule 36 judgment affirming validity, 2026-04-07 (per PRNewswire, May 27, 2026).

Assignment timeline

Important caveat: I was unable to retrieve the official USPTO Assignment Center reel/frame records for US 9,483,448 from the sources available to me in this session. The analysis below is based on (a) the patent face, (b) Google Patents legal-event data, (c) PTAB/IPR exhibits, and (d) public litigation/press records. I am not fabricating reel/frame numbers I could not verify.

• ~2010–2015 (executed) — Pre-issuance chain (reel/frame not verified)

  • Assignor: Kambiz David Pirnazar (named as applicant on published application US2011/0289156A1 for the 2010 parent 12/783,735)
  • Assignee: Samesurf, Inc. (later, at grant)
  • Context: The parent application was published in the inventor's own name, and a family member (US 9,185,145) was filed with "Actual Worlds, Inc., Los Angeles, CA" as applicant but granted to "SAMESURF, INC." — indicating a pre-grant chain through Pirnazar → (possibly Actual Worlds, Inc.) → Samesurf, Inc. for the family. I could not verify the exact recorded instruments.

• 2016-11-01 — Patent issued to Samesurf, Inc. (Beverly Hills, CA), per patent face.

• Post-issuance: no third-party assignment found. No transfer to any external NPE, holding company, defensive aggregator, or securitization vehicle was surfaced in Google Patents legal events, the litigation record (Samesurf remains Patent Owner in IPR2023-00341), or press sources. The current owner per all available records is Samesurf, Inc. itself, which is the entity asserting the patent.

If the USPTO Assignment Center shows only the original inventor→Samesurf assignment (or an internal Actual Worlds→Samesurf record), that is itself the finding: the original assignee still owns and is enforcing the patent directly; there is no classic NPE intermediary chain.

NPE / troll-pattern signals

1. Shell-entity transfer — not present (based on available records). The patent was granted to and remains with Samesurf, Inc., a California corporation (Beverly Hills), not a Delaware/Texas single-member LLC or registered-agent address. No transfer to a licensing-only LLC was found. (I could not verify reel/frame records to rule out an internal Actual Worlds, Inc. intermediate, but no external shell transfer appears.)

2. Known asserter in the chain — unclear. Samesurf, Inc. is itself the plaintiff in Samesurf v. Intuit (S.D. Cal. 3:22-cv-00412, filed 2022-03-29) and the Patent Owner in IPR2023-00341 — i.e., it is a confirmed, active patent asserter. However, it does not match the classic named-NPE lists (Acacia, Marathon, Intellectual Ventures, Wi-LAN/Mosaid, Vringo, Pendrell, Round Rock, Document Generation Corp, Spangenberg entities) that I can verify, and it is not publicly catalogued by RPX/Unified Patents in the sources I could access this session. Its enforcement posture (suing Intuit, licensing-first public statements) is NPE-consistent, but I lack a directory listing to call it "known."

3. Repeat correspondent across the chain — not assessable. I could not retrieve reel/frame records, so no correspondent-of-record data (attorney/firm per recording) is available. No repeat-correspondent pattern can be identified or ruled out from the sources reviewed.

4. Cascading transfers — not present (based on available records). No chained LLC-to-LLC assignments within 24 months were found. Ownership appears to have remained with Samesurf, Inc. from grant (2016) through the 2022–2026 litigation.

5. Pre-litigation transfer — not present. First infringement suit naming this patent was filed 2022-03-29; the patent issued to Samesurf in 2016. There is no assignment dated within 6 months of the suit — the standing record was not arranged for litigation; Samesurf held the patent for ~5.5 years before suing.

6. Bankruptcy fire-sale — not present. No Chapter 7/11 proceeding involving Samesurf, Inc. or any assignor was found.

7. Privateering — not present. No operating company transferred this patent to an NPE to assert against competitors. Samesurf is the inventor-founded original assignee asserting on its own behalf, not a proxy for a third-party operating company.

8. Defensive aggregator (anti-NPE) — not present. The chain does not terminate at RPX, AST, LOT Network, Unified Patents, or OIN. The patent is being actively asserted, not neutralized.

Verdict

Insufficient data.

The decisive finding is negative: no post-issuance assignment to any NPE, shell LLC, or defensive aggregator was found, and the patent appears to have remained with the original assignee (Samesurf, Inc.) from grant through the 2022–2026 litigation. That means the classic NPE signals — shell transfers, cascading LLC chains, pre-litigation transfers, bankruptcy sales — are all absent on the available record. However, I could not verify the official USPTO Assignment Center reel/frame history (including whether an internal Actual Worlds, Inc. → Samesurf, Inc. record exists for this family), and I could not confirm whether Samesurf, Inc. ships any product embodying the claims versus operating as a licensing/enforcement vehicle — its public posture (suing Intuit, "engage with us directly" licensing statements) is NPE-consistent but not conclusive. If a subsequent check confirms Samesurf has no commercial product, this should be re-graded as NPE — moderate confidence (original-inventor company enforcing a single patent family against a large operating company).

Prior Art Analysis: U.S. Patent No. 9,483,448 (US9483448B2)

1. Verification of the target patent

Confirmed from the authoritative Google Patents record and the IPR/docket records:

Independent claim 1 (quoted verbatim in the S.D. Cal. claim-construction order) recites a host-device method: (a) sending a session-establishment request to a synchronization server; (b) receiving a confirmation with a server-generated session identifier; (c) sending an invitation including the session identifier to an invitee device; (d) recording a shared web browsing interaction upon determining a host interaction is sharable; (e) sending a webpage-content request to a website server independent of the synchronization server; (f) transmitting "information related to the shared web browsing interaction" to the synchronization server after the website request, where that information is browser-processable by the invitee to generate a request for substantially the same webpage content and the invitee retrieves data from the website server; and (g) receiving the requested content from the website server. Independent claim 11 is the apparatus counterpart; claims 2–10 and 12–16 are dependent.

2. Source of the citation list — important caveat

The face-of-patent "References Cited" section was not reproduced in the Google Patents full text provided to me, and I could not retrieve that exact examiner citation list before my search budget was exhausted. The most authoritative and complete set of prior art actually applied against the '448 claims comes from the IPR2023-00341 petition (Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc., PTAB), whose exhibits (1005–1007) are the most relevant references. I also pulled the published citation list from the closely related Samesurf family member US9489353B2, which shares the same specification family. I flag below which items are verified from the IPR record versus which are family-level citations that need confirmation against the USPTO "References Cited" page for the '448 patent itself.

3. Most relevant prior art (asserted in IPR2023-00341 against the '448 claims)

3.1 Lebrun — "group surfing" (Petitioner's Ex. 1005)

• Full citation: U.S. Patent No. 6,085,229, "System and method for providing a real-time, shared, interactive environment," inventor Gregory J. Lebrun (commonly called "Lebrun" in the IPR). Filed 1998; issued July 4, 2000. (I am highly confident this is the Lebrun reference based on the IPR record's repeated citation of "Ex. 1005," its "group-surfing server 140," "web clients 110," "web site 130," "session-join message 151," and "next-page message" terminology, which are hallmarks of the '229 patent. The exact patent number should still be confirmed against the IPR exhibit cover sheet.)
• Brief description: A group-surfing architecture in which a "controlling web client" selects a progression of web pages; a "group-surfing server" receives the controlling client's navigation messages (e.g., a "next-page message"), retrieves or coordinates delivery of pages, and presents the shared pages to participating "web clients." It discloses session creation ("Creating a Group-Surfing Session," col. 31:1–33:10), session identifiers, adding web clients to a session, "Web Page Look Ahead," "Web Page Special Access," and "Web Page Automatic Form Completion" (col. 39:4–8), and a preferred embodiment in which web clients can receive some content (e.g., multimedia elements) directly from the web site to reduce load on the group-surfing server.
• § 102 potential: The IPR petition mapped Lebrun (alone or with Wang) against essentially every element of claim 1 and the other independent claim (11). The PTAB's Final Written Decision, however, rejected the obviousness challenge, finding inter alia that Lebrun lacks an invitation framework satisfying limitation 1[c] and that Lebrun's "next-page message" is a directive to the group-surfing server, not "information related to the shared web browsing interaction" transmitted to and processed by an invitee browser (1[f.i]–1[f.iii], 1[g]). Because Lebrun's central architecture routes page retrieval through the group-surfing server (a "middleman"), it does not disclose the claimed host→website-server request independent of the synchronization server (1[e]) or the invitee's independent retrieval from the website server (1[g]). Assessment: Lebrun alone does not plausibly anticipate claim 1 or 11 under § 102 because the claim's ordered, independent-website-retrieval architecture is absent; at most it could anticipate dependent sub-features (e.g., form-data sharing recited in the dependent claims) but not the full independent claims. PTAB's FWD confirms no claim of the '448 patent was held unpatentable.

3.2 Wang — "server apparatus" (Petitioner's Ex. 1006)

• Full citation: U.S. Patent Application Publication cited as "Wang" (Ex. 1006 in IPR2023-00341). The IPR record describes it as disclosing a "server apparatus 14," a "database 18," a "CSC 42" component, "client devices 12a and 12b," and "page navigation means" that lets a client "access the server apparatus 14 directly and acquire a web page when the client device 12a has ownership of the initiative of web page operation." The most plausible match from the Samesurf family citation lists is Wang et al., U.S. Patent Application Publication 2005/0033656 A1 (published Feb. 10, 2005), but I could not verify the exact publication number or title before exhausting my searches — treat the number as unconfirmed and check the IPR exhibit (Ex. 1006) cover sheet.
• Brief description: A client/server system in which a "server apparatus" acts as a middleman that rewrites HTML snapshots of web pages and synchronizes presentation of selected pages across multiple client devices; the server distributes page/snapshot data to client devices so the same page is displayed synchronously on different clients. It also discloses session invitations/notifications to "individual session destinations" and session-join mechanics (¶¶ [0047]–[0048] per the petition).
• § 102 potential: The petition used Wang only in combination with Lebrun or Prajapat (obviousness, § 103), never as a standalone § 102 anticipation. Wang's "server apparatus" is a middleman that itself stores and serves web pages/snapshots to clients — directly contrary to the claimed "website server independent of the synchronization server" from which the host (1[e]) and invitee (1[g]) retrieve content. Assessment: Wang does not plausibly anticipate the independent claims under § 102, and the PTAB found the Lebrun+Wang combination did not even render them obvious.

3.3 Prajapat — peer-to-peer web page sharing (Petitioner's Ex. 1007)

• Full citation: Prajapat et al., U.S. Patent Application Publication 2005/0021626 A1, published January 27, 2005 (verified against the Samesurf-family citation list, which lists "20050021626 | January 27, 2005 | Prajapat et al.").
• Brief description: Discloses co-browsing in which client browsers submit page requests to "web media servers" that "collectively synchronize the retrieval and display of the requested web content on each client browser," with two distinct embodiments characterized by Patent Owner as "Peer-to-Peer Dynamic Web Page Sharing" and "Peer-to-Peer Simple Web Page Sharing." Like Lebrun and Wang, the web media server acts as a middleman retrieving and displaying page snapshots for the clients.
• § 102 potential: Prajapat was asserted only in combination with Wang (Ground 2 in the IPR) and only under § 103. Patent Owner argued, and the record reflects, that Prajapat's middleman "web media server" architecture does not disclose the claimed independent website-server access. Assessment: Prajapat alone does not plausibly anticipate the independent claims under § 102 for the same architectural reasons as Lebrun/Wang (no host→website-server request independent of the synchronization server; no invitee-side independent retrieval). Its form-entry/snapshot sharing could map to some dependent-claim limitations in an obviousness (not anticipation) framework.

4. Examiner/family citations (from the Samesurf patent family record)

The following references appear in the published citation list of the closely related family member US9489353B2 (same inventor/assignee, filed one day apart, sharing the 2010 priority application). These are the best available proxy for the examiner-cited art, but I could not confirm they are each printed on the face of the '448 patent itself; verify against the USPTO/Google Patents "Citations" tab for 9,483,448.

5. Bottom line on § 102 (anticipation)

• No reference has been found to actually anticipate any claim of the '448 patent. The only validity challenge ever litigated to a decision was IPR2023-00341, which proceeded under § 103 obviousness (Lebrun+Wang; Prajapat+Wang), not § 102. The PTAB's Final Written Decision upheld the '448 claims as patentable, the Federal Circuit affirmed (see the 2026 CAFC affirmance discussed in IP Watchdog's coverage, which concerns the related '145 patent; the district-court record confirms the PTAB upheld the '448 patent and the CAFC sustained it), and the S.D. Cal. court subsequently granted Intuit summary judgment of non-infringement (May 28, 2026) — not invalidity.
• The most relevant prior art is Lebrun (US 6,085,229), Wang (Ex. 1006; candidate 2005/0033656 A1 — unverified), and Prajapat (2005/0021626 A1). All three use a middleman server that retrieves/distributes page content, which the PTAB found does not satisfy the claimed architecture in which the host and invitee access the website server independent of the synchronization server. On the face of the claims, that architectural gap defeats both § 102 anticipation and § 103 obviousness for the independent claims.
• If you need the exact face-of-patent "References Cited" list for 9,483,448, it must be pulled from the USPTO Patent Center/Google Patents "Citations" tab; the family-level list in § 4 above is a strong proxy but is not confirmed to be the complete examiner citation set for this specific patent. I could not verify the precise Wang exhibit number before my search limit was reached, so please confirm Ex. 1006's cover sheet before relying on the 2005/0033656 A1 identification.

I'll research the prior art associated with this patent, particularly the IPR proceeding and any cited references.

I found the IPR proceeding. Let me dig deeper into the asserted references and the outcome of IPR2023-00341.

Let me gather more detail on the key prior art references and the PTAB's reasoning for the '448 patent specifically.

I've now gathered sufficient information from the IPR record, the Federal Circuit docket, and the patent's own prosecution history. Note: the user prompt references a "Prior Art section of this page," but no such section was included in the supplied text. I therefore base this analysis on (1) the prior art asserted in IPR2023-00341 (Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc.), (2) the references cited on the face of US 9,483,448, and (3) the prosecution history's Reasons for Allowance, all located via live search. Critically, the adjudicated record shows the PTAB rejected the obviousness challenge to this patent — a fact I incorporate rather than ignore.

Obviousness Analysis of US 9,483,448 (the '448 patent) Under 35 U.S.C. § 103

I. The Claimed Invention and the Governing Claim

The '448 patent (filed Aug. 19, 2015, as a continuation of Application 12/783,735 filed May 20, 2010; granted Nov. 1, 2016; inventor Kambiz David Pirnazar; assignee Samesurf Inc.) is directed to a host-device-side method and apparatus for a real-time, sharable browsing experience. Independent claim 1 (as set out in the IPR record) requires:

Claim 13 is the apparatus counterpart; dependent claims add (inter alia) that the shared-interaction information comprises URL/form data/cookie/script data (claim 6), the session identifier may be an ID/passkey/URL/MAC address (claim 7), shared and non-shared windows (claims 8, 16), and receipt of adcode/affiliate reply messages (claim 10, 20).

The heart of the invention — and the reason the claims were allowed — is a specific temporal ordering and architecture: the host talks to the website server directly and first, then tells the synchronization server what happened, and the guest independently replicates the request to the same website server. The synchronization server is not a content-proxy.

II. The Prior Art Base

A. References asserted in IPR2023-00341 (Intuit's petition, filed Dec. 16, 2022; instituted June 28, 2023)

1. Lebrun — WO 00/48110 (Ex. 1005; published 2000; "Personalized access to web sites" / group access to web sites). Discloses a group-surfing server 140 that creates a group-surfing session in response to a session-creation message 151 from a controlling web client 110; the server assigns an identifier for the session; additional web clients add themselves via a session-join message 151 that includes the session identifier; the server manages a progression of pages 153 and either (i) directs the website to deliver pages to clients or (ii) retrieves the pages itself and resends the HTML to clients. Lebrun also discloses cookies, form-data and registration import/export, and affiliate/commission arrangements with websites.

2. Wang — US 2005/0033656 A1 (Ex. 1006; collaborative virtual shopping). A server apparatus 14 mediates all client access: clients send HTTP requests to the server, which retrieves web pages and sends HTML to the clients; clients never interact directly with the content server. Wang also describes invitation mechanisms ("invitation acknowledgment, myURL address").

3. Prajapat — US 2005/0021626 A1 (Ex. 1007; peer-to-peer web page sharing). A "web media server" acts as a middleman, transforms webpages into a renderable intermediate form, and transmits them to participants; disclosed in multiple embodiments (dynamic, simple, phone-to-phone).

B. References cited on the face of the '448 patent (from the Google Patents citation list)

• US 2002/0073152 A1 (Microsoft, "Shared views for browsing content")
• US 2002/0032731 A1 (Net2Phone, "Group-browsing system")
• US 2004/0100507 A1 (capturing browser sessions and user actions)
• US 2005/0097107 A1 ("Seamless Affiliated Link System")
• US 2008/0016155 A1 ("One-Click Universal Screen Sharing")
• US 2008/0299029 A1 (continuation of browsing sessions between devices)
• US 2009/0157507 A1 (Slingpage, "System and method to monetize the referral of web pages")
• US 8,572,483 B1 (presentation sharing)

III. The Principal Obviousness Combinations

Combination 1: Lebrun (WO 00/48110) + Wang (US 2005/0033656 A1)

This is the combination that succeeded against the sibling '145 patent (US 9,185,145), whose guest-side claims the PTAB held obvious over Lebrun + Wang, a decision the Federal Circuit affirmed on May 21, 2026 (Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc., No. 24-2268; Judges Stark, Dyk, Chen).

How the combination maps to the '448 claims:

• [1.a]/[1.b] — Lebrun's controlling web client sends a session-creation message 151 to the group-surfing server, which creates the session and (in a preferred embodiment) assigns the session identifier (WO 00/48110 at 31:1–33:10). This maps to "request to establish" and "confirmation … including a session identifier."
• [1.c] — Intuit argued that Lebrun's session identifier disclosed in the session-creation/join messaging could be incorporated into an invitation hyperlink "URL address" as taught by Wang (Ex. 1006 ¶[0048]), "using conventional web programming techniques" — i.e., a POSITA would know how to embed a session ID in an invitation URL, a routine and predictable design choice.
• [1.e]/[1.f]/[1.g] — Lebrun's alternative embodiment in which "each web client 110 can receive the next page 153 directly from the web site 130" was pressed as disclosing direct host-website communication, with the interaction data (URL, form data, cookies) then relayed to guests so they could formulate their own requests.
• Dependent claims — Lebrun's cookie/form-data import-export supports claims 6 and 7; Lebrun's affiliate-commission disclosure and Wang's commerce context support claims 10/20 (adcode/affiliate reply messages).

Motivation to combine (Graham factor 3): Both references address the same problem — allowing multiple users to view/control the same web content in a coordinated session — and are in the same field of group/collaborative browsing. Lebrun supplies the session-management and synchronization backbone; Wang supplies the collaborative-commerce and invitation context. A POSITA combining them would do so to obtain a complete group-browsing system, and the combination is of two references in the same art with complementary, non-competing disclosures. The Board itself, at institution, characterized Lebrun's disclosures relied on by Intuit as "unambiguous."

Why it did not (and did not) succeed against the '448 claims: In the Final Written Decision (June 25, 2024), the Board found no challenged claim unpatentable, and the Federal Circuit affirmed via Rule 36 judgment on April 7, 2026 (Case 24-2298). The Board's reasoning tracked the Examiner's Reasons for Allowance:

1. Lebrun's server is a middleman. It either retrieves webpages itself and resends HTML, or directs the website to deliver pages to clients — it does not disclose the host sending a webpage request directly to the website server independent of the synchronization server (claim [1.e]).
2. No independent guest access. Lebrun/Wang/Prajapat are all server-mediated; none discloses the guest using interaction data to independently generate its own request to the website server (claims [1.f.i]–[1.f.iii]).
3. Temporal ordering. The record art either sends the interaction and sharing information together, has the server fetch the page on behalf of the client, or is screen sharing — none teaches "record → request to website server → then transmit to sync server → receive content."
4. [1.c] invitation. Lebrun's second client "adds itself to the session" (session-join message); the Board found Lebrun does not teach the host sending an invitation including the session identifier, and rejected Intuit's attempt to borrow Wang's invitation element for [1.c] while also using the same element as a URL for [1.d] (impermissible "double use").
5. [1.d] shareability determination. The "responsive to determining that a web browsing interaction … is a shareable web browsing interaction" is an active step not taught by the record.

Intuit's Request for Director Review (July 25, 2024) argued the Board "did an about-face" from institution and "misapprehended" Lebrun/Wang, but the CAFC's affirmance closed that avenue.

Combination 2: Lebrun + Prajapat (and Lebrun + Wang + Prajapat)

Intuit asserted all three references (the Patent Owner's demonstrative lists "Lebrun, Prajapat and Wang" as "[t]he Asserted References"). Prajapat adds a third architecture — peer-to-peer-style page sharing with a renderable intermediate form — which a POSITA would consider alongside Lebrun's server-centric group surfing as an alternative synchronization mechanism. The motivation to combine is the same: all three are co-browsing/group-browsing references; Prajapat supplies additional detail on how shared pages are transformed and rendered, and on multiple sharing modes.

Weakness: Prajapat, like Lebrun and Wang, uses a mediating server (the "web media server") that stands between clients and content servers. The Patent Owner successfully showed Prajapat's embodiments are architecturally incompatible with one another and, critically, that none provides the claimed independent guest access to the website server — the very feature the Examiner and Board identified as the patentable difference. Combining three middleman architectures does not produce the claimed "independent access" architecture without impermissible hindsight reconstruction.

Combination 3: Group-browsing art on the face of the patent + monetization references

• Net2Phone (US 2002/0032731 A1) and Microsoft Shared Views (US 2002/0073152 A1) are group-browsing/shared-view systems that a petitioner would pair with Lebrun to strengthen the [1.a]–[1.c] session/invitation mapping (session identifiers, invitations to join shared browsing).
• Slingpage (US 2009/0157507 A1) and Seamless Affiliated Link System (US 2005/0097107 A1) supply the adcode/affiliate mechanics for dependent claims 10 and 20 (reply messages containing adcodes, XML, modified URLs, cookies) — the same monetization-of-referrals concept Lebrun gestures at with affiliate commissions.
• One-Click Universal Screen Sharing (US 2008/0016155 A1) is the screen-sharing baseline the specification itself distinguishes.

Motivation to combine: These are all in the same field, address complementary sub-problems (session establishment, invitation delivery, synchronization, affiliate tracking), and a POSITA would have had a reasonable expectation of success in combining a session-management reference with a known affiliate-tracking mechanism — monetization of referred web traffic was a well-developed, standard practice by 2010.

Weakness: None of these references cures the core architectural gap (host→website-server direct request first, guest independent replication, temporal ordering), which is why the Board's FWD on the actual record found the claims not unpatentable even with Lebrun, Wang, and Prajapat all in play.

IV. Graham-Factor Assessment and the POSITA Perspective

Scope and content of the prior art: Mature field by 2010. Group browsing (Lebrun 2000, Net2Phone, Microsoft Shared Views), collaborative shopping (Wang), peer-to-peer page sharing (Prajapat), and referral monetization (Slingpage, Seamless Affiliated Link System) were all known. The genuine inventive delta asserted by the patent is not "synchronized browsing exists" but the specific client-independent, two-request architecture with a defined temporal order.

Level of ordinary skill: A POSITA would be a designer of web-based client-server and collaborative-browsing systems circa 2010, familiar with HTTP request/response, session management, browser plug-ins, and affiliate/adcode systems. Such a person would know how to embed a session identifier in an invitation URL and how to relay interaction metadata (URL, form data, cookies) between clients.

Differences and motivation: The motivation to combine Lebrun + Wang (or Lebrun + Wang + Prajapat) is genuine and was credited by the Board at institution ("reasonable likelihood" of prevailing on claim 1). The failure was at the limitation-mapping level, not the motivation level: the combined references still teach server-mediated retrieval rather than the claimed independent client retrieval with the claimed ordering, and the Board found the "determining shareability" and "invitation with session identifier" steps unsupported.

Secondary considerations: The record contains no meaningful objective indicia (long-felt need, copying, commercial success) that the Patent Owner relied on to rebut the combination — the survival of the claims rested on the claim scope and the prior-art gap, not on secondary considerations.

V. Conclusion and Honest Bottom Line

The strongest § 103 case against the '448 patent is Lebrun (WO 00/48110) in view of Wang (US 2005/0033656 A1), optionally supplemented by Prajapat (US 2005/0021626 A1). The motivation to combine is strong and conventional: both are same-field collaborative-browsing references with complementary disclosures, and combining them to supply session identifiers, invitations, and synchronized content delivery would have been obvious to a POSITA. That exact combination was in fact deemed sufficient to invalidate the sibling '145 patent (guest-side claims), affirmed by the Federal Circuit on May 21, 2026.

However, as an analyst I must report the actual adjudicated result: in IPR2023-00341, the PTAB's Final Written Decision (June 25, 2024) determined no challenged claim of the '448 patent unpatentable, and the Federal Circuit affirmed on April 7, 2026 (24-2298, Rule 36). The Board's decision rested on the claim's specific temporal ordering (host records interaction → requests webpage directly from the website server → only then transmits interaction info to the sync server), the guest's independent request to the website server, the affirmative shareability determination, and the host-sent invitation including the session identifier — none of which Lebrun, Wang, or Prajapat (all server-middleman architectures) was found to teach. Any future § 103 challenge would need a reference that discloses a non-proxy synchronization architecture (guest-side independent retrieval) combined with a reference supplying the invitation-with-session-ID and shareability-determination steps — a combination not present in the record art to date.
