Patent Trial and Appeal Board

Holding

The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB without opinion under Federal Circuit Rule 36. The judgment states no reasoning and identifies no separate patent-law holding.

Why It Matters

This is a nonprecedential Rule 36 affirmance, so it leaves the PTAB result intact but provides no guidance on the merits for future cases.
