Centripetal Networks, LLC v. Keysight Technologies, Inc.

Centripetal Networks, LLC v. Keysight Technologies, Inc. [Rule 36 Judgment] The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB. The Rule 36 judgment provides no reasoning or issue-specific holdings. This is a nonprecedential Rule 36 affirmance, so it confirms the PTAB result for the parties but offers no guidance on the underlying patentability issues. Affirmed. The appeals arose from two PTAB IPR proceedings, IPR2023-00445 and IPR2023-01329. The Federal Circuit affirmed without opinion under Federal Circuit Rule 36. The judgment does not identify the challenged claims, patent numbers, prior-art grounds, or specific patent-law issues decided by the Board. Because there is no written opinion, the decision has limited value beyond the fact of affirmance.
