Micron, Dell, HP win appeal over conflict claims tied to US patent official

A US appeals court has supported decisions made by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) regarding Micron, Dell, and HP, despite the fact that the attorney who represented the tech companies later became the director of the office. The court stated that Unification Technologies, the patent owner, failed to show that the attorney's previous involvement in the case influenced the administrative judges who invalidated its patents. Unification sued Micron, Dell, and HP for patent infringement relating to memory chip data management in 2020. The cases involving HP and Dell have been dismissed, while the Micron case is ongoing.

Carma’s approach, asserting specific patent claims, complicates Uber's defense. The case is considered challenging due to the complexity and strategic depth of Carma’s patent portfolio.

US Supreme Court won't review Apple's win against $503 million patent verdict

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied patent-licensing company VirnetX's appeal to revive a $502.8 million jury verdict against Apple. The verdict was reached in a dispute over internet-security patents, with VirnetX claiming that Apple's iPhones and iPads infringed its patents relating to virtual private networks. The decision upholds a lower court ruling that overturned the verdict. VirnetX had challenged the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's invalidation of its patents, but the courts have now upheld the decisions to invalidate them. The 14-year legal battle between the two companies continues.
