On February 21, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit (Federal Circuit) affirmed the PTAB ruling, without an
opinion, in the IPR2014-00475 matter. The Federal Circuit,
however, ruled that the PTAB should not have instituted the
proceedings in CBM2014-00100 because the Glazer patent claims do
not constitute a covered business method. Accordingly, the
Federal Circuit vacated the invalidity ruling in the CBM
proceedings.
The Glazer patent is the subject of patent infringement
litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
