Google, Microsoft, Sony, Facebook & Samsung Gang Up on Two B.E. Tech. Patents, Week of October 7, 2013
| October 14, 2013
Last year, Memphis-based B.E. Technologies sued 19 social media/smartphone companies for infringement of two patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,628,314 & 6,771,290) claiming targeted advertising systems. Last week, Google, Microsoft and Facebook requested inter partes review of the ‘314 patent, and Google, Sony, Microsoft and Samsung requested inter partes review of the ‘290 patent (see inter partes review Request Nos. (5), (7), (11), (12), (13), (17), & (20)). Clearly, inter partes review has become the weapon of choice for the Internet giants of the world.
Separately, Google filed inter partes review requests and covered business method post-grant review requests against three Unwired Planet patents claiming systems for providing location information for wireless devices (see inter partes review Request Nos. (4), (9) & (10) and CBM Request Nos. (1), (2) & (3)). Last week saw six requests altogether for covered business method post-grant review, which has become more popular of late in light of the APJ’s broad construction of the statutory phrase “financial product or service.”
At the beginning of the month, Samsung requested inter partes review of four Fractus patents related to cell phone antennas. This past week, Samsung filed ex parte reexamination requests against the same Fractus patents (see ex parte Request Nos. (9), (10), (11) & (12)). Samsung might be concerned that the APJs will refuse to institute inter partes review, finding that certain of its proposed grounds for rejection are cumulative – Samsung would then be free to pursue those “cumulative grounds” in the requested ex parte reexaminations.
Finally, Apple requested inter partes review of two patents, one owned by NetAirus Technologies and one owned by Benjamin Filmalter Grobler (see inter partes Request Nos. (6) & (26)).
