Great news for Worlds appeal on RPI issue.

The Federal Circuit just granted Wi-Fi One’s petition for en banc review. The Court requested briefing on this issue: Should this court overrule Achates Reference Publishing, Inc. v. Apple Inc., 803 F.3d 652 (Fed. Cir. 2015) and hold that judicial review is available for a patent owner to challenge the PTO’s determination that the petitioner satisfied the timeliness requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 315(b) governing the filing of petitions for inter partes review?
Amici briefs are due by Thursday, February 23, 2017.
