Apple, Inc. v. California Institute of Technology
Petition for certiorari denied on June 26, 2023
Issue: Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit erroneously extended inter partes review estoppel under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(2) to all grounds that reasonably could have been raised in the petition filed before an inter partes review is instituted, even though the text of the statute applies estoppel only to grounds that “reasonably could have [been] raised during that inter partes review.” CVSG: 5/23/2023
