HTC Corp. v. Cellular Communications Equipment, LLC, No. 16-1880 (Fed. Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe Patent Trial and Appeal Board instituted inter partes review of the 174 Patent, which is directed to methods and apparatuses for a radio communications system where a subscriber station, i.e., a mobile device, is assigned a plurality of codes for transmitting messages. The Board found that the claims were not obvious or anticipated in prior art, The Federal Circuit affirmed, rejecting an argument that the Board’s application of the term “message” improperly excluded embodiments of “transmissions of data at intervals specified in a UMTS [Universal Mobile Telecommunications System] system,” specifically by excluding single frame Enhanced Dedicated Uplink Channel messages. Substantial evidence supported the patentability determination.
