Federal Circuit Issues Important Decision Regarding Inter Partes Review Proceedings

In In re Cuozzo Speed Technologies, LLC (available here), the Federal Circuit found: (i) it lacked jurisdiction to review the PTAB’s decision to institute an IPR (in light of 35 U.S.C. § 314(d)); and (ii) the PTAB appropriately applied the “broadest reasonable interpretation” standard when conducting its claim construction analysis for unexpired patents.
