Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued a pair of rulings on appeals filed by cybersecurity developer Centripetal Networks, following decisions by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) that invalidated its patent claims to network threat detection technologies. Affirming the PTAB’s obviousness findings in both rulings, the Federal Circuit found substantial evidence supporting the Board’s claim constructions underlying those obviousness determinations, despite a sometimes-unclear separation between the Board’s claim construction and analysis.
