On January 10, 2023, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) reversed an earlier judgement and found all challenged claims of U.S. Patent 7,127,210, owned by 2BCom, LLC, unpatentable. The ’210 patent is generally directed to management of Bluetooth connections and was asserted against BMW, TP-Link, FCA, Amazon, KIA Motors, Logitech, and Walmart.
The Board agreed on rehearing that the evidence as a whole establishes that non-patent references used in Unified's challenge qualify as prior art printed publications. This included a paper that was published by the IEEE and a Bluetooth standards document. Upon determining that the references qualify as printed publications, the Board found that the challenged claims were unpatentable. To read the petition and view the case record, see Unified's Portal. See also 2BCom’s district court litigation. Unified was represented by Jon Bowser and Angela Oliver of Haynes and Boone, and by in-house counsel, Roshan Mansinghani and Alyssa Holtslander, in this proceeding.
