Federal Circuit Vacates PTAB Decision on Apple Touchscreen Patent

2017/01/05

Apple secured a win on January 3, at the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a dispute centering on a patent for a touchscreen interface.
The court vacated and remanded a decision made by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) affirming an examiner’s rejection of claims 38–41 of US patent application number 12/364,470, assigned to Apple.
Although the PTAB had reversed the examiner’s rejection of 29 claims, it affirmed that claims 38–41 would have been obvious over US patent number 7,231,229 (Hawkins) and US publication number 02/0191059 (Gillespie).
