Inter Partes Review Requested for P&G Teeth Whitening Patents, Week of July 15, 2013

| July 22, 2013

Last year Procter & Gamble sued three companies – Clio USA, Inc., Team Technologies, Inc., and Brushpoint Innovations, Inc. – for using its patented method and system for whitening teeth.  The three accused infringers have now requested inter partes review of P&G’s patents (see inter partes review Request No. (1) & (3)).

Healthcare Hero Network owns a series of patents related to “a networked system for remotely monitoring individuals and for communicating information to the individuals through the use of script programs.”  Eight of those patents are now in reexamination.  Cardiocom has now requested inter partes review of three other related Healthcare Hero patents (see inter partes review Request Nos.
