Amsted Rail Company, Inc. v. Squires

Amsted Rail Company, Inc. v. Squires The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB decisions in IPR2023-00538 and IPR2023-00539 under Fed. Cir. R. 36, so the Board's rulings in both inter partes reviews stand. The judgment gives no reasoning and does not identify the issues. The result is clear: the Board's decisions in both IPRs stand. The judgment gives no rationale, so it offers no guidance beyond that outcome. Affirmed. Amsted Rail appealed from PTAB decisions in two inter partes reviews, IPR2023-00538 and IPR2023-00539 (appeals 2024-2345 and 2025-1067). The USPTO Director intervened and argued through the Solicitor's Office; counsel for Amsted Rail also argued. Holding and result: the panel (Prost, Chen, and Stark) affirmed per curiam under Fed. Cir. R. 36 without opinion, leaving the Board's decisions in both IPRs in place. The judgment does not state the patents, claims, grounds, or which party prevailed before the Board, so the substantive issues cannot be determined from the text. The disposition is nonprecedential. Rule 36 affirmance non-precedential
