The Patent Trial and Appeal Board did not err in affirming a patent examiner’s rejection of three claims of an IPCom patent on a system for allowing access rights to cell phone channels, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has ruled. Because all three claims were anticipated by the GSM 04.60 Specifications, the ruling of the PTAB was affirmed (IPCom GmbH & Co. v. HTC Corp., July 11, 2016, Prost, S.).

A full summary of this case has been published on Kluwer IP Law.
