Guidance On USPTO's Recission of Interim Procedure for Discretionary Denials

Determining Prior Art

Two recent patent law decisions show the importance of clarity and thoroughness in distinguishing pending patent claims from prior art. In the case of CQV Co. v. Merck Patent GMBH, the PTAB's failure to consider the entirety of the claim's record lead to a favorable decision for CQV Co. The case between Sierra Wireless v. Sisvel S.P.A. shows an instance in which the PTAB's misinterpretation of certain elements in Sisvel's patents lead to an appeal that would vacate the decision that the patent was not valid.
