PTAB refuses to institute harassing IPR challenges against Finjan
Recently the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (Board) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) denied institution in two separate inter partes review (IPR) challenges. IPR2016-01441 (relating to U.S. Patent No. 8,225,408) and IPR2016-01443 (relating to U.S. Patent No. 8,677,494). Both IPR petitions were filed by Blue Coat Systems, LLC, against Finjan, Inc. In both instances the Board found that the Blue Coat IPR petitions were harassing and denied institution.
