EAST PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Finjan Holdings, Inc. (FNJN), and its subsidiary, Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”), today announced that the USPTO, Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) entered a decision on appeal (Appeal 2018-007444) in favor of Finjan, and reversed Examiner’s rejection of certain challenged claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,015,182 (the “’182 Patent”) on reexamination.
Specifically, on request by an unnamed adverse third party, the USPTO ordered reexamination of Claims 8-11 and 13 of the ‘182 Patent. The Examiner rejected the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over three prior art references. Finjan appealed, among other issues, the Examiner’s rejection over the combination of three prior art references. In reversing the Examiner’s rejection, the PTAB determined that the prior art “fails to disclose all the elements of the [‘182] invention recited in independent claim 8.” (Decision on Appeal at p. 14).
“Finjan recognizes and appreciates this most recent affirmation that another of its patents is valid over various combinations of prior art. This is another arrow in our quiver used to preserve the established value of our patents,” stated Julie Mar-Spinola, CIPO and VP, Legal Operations for Finjan.
Finjan has pending infringement lawsuits against ESET and its affiliates, Cisco Systems, Inc., Palo Alto Networks, Inc., Sonicwall, Inc., Bitdefender and its affiliates, Juniper Networks, Zscaler, Inc., Checkpoint and its affiliates, and Rapid7, Inc. and Rapid7 LLC, relating to, collectively, more than 20 patents in the Finjan portfolio. The court dockets for the foregoing cases are publicly available on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) website, www.pacer.gov, which is operated by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
