RulingsAdverse judgment- Adverse judgmentAdverse judgmentGranted
“Pursuant to our rules, “[a]ctions construed to be a request for adverse judgment include . . . [a]bandonment of the contest.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(4). Our prior order warned that a failure to respond would be construed as an abandonment of the contest under 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(4), and that entry of judgment adverse to Patent Owner and cancellation of the challenged claim may follow. Show Cause Order, 2. Because Patent Owner did not respond by the September 15, 2026, deadline and has not entered an appearance in this proceeding, we determine that Patent Owner has abandoned the contest.

Claims 1–19 are unpatentable as obvious over the Lesniak- and Native-based grounds; the Squatch and Sturgis ground fails because Squatch was not shown to be a printed publication.
RulingsFinal written decision- BurdenDecided for patent owner
“We agree with Patent Owner that Petitioner has not shown sufficiently that Squatch is a printed publication. As described above, Petitioner relies on Squatch as a “website excerpt” placed on its site at the relevant time, but has not produced a screen shot of the website to show that it ever existed. See Ex. 1059. Petitioner provides internal documents that purport to describe what would have been on Dr. Squatch’s website at the relevant time, but falls short of establishing what was on the website for the interested consumer to view. Thus, we determine that this ground fails.” slip op. at 55

“(citing In re Klopfenstein, 380 F.3d 1345, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2004)). Of particular relevance to the case presently before us is the VidStream court’s holding that “[w]hen there is an established publisher there is a presumption of public accessibility as of the publication date.” VidStream, 981 F.3d at 1065. Hulu addressed, inter alia, whether certain asserted references were shown to be publicly available and could be considered as prior art. IPR2018-01039, Paper 29 at 8. In Hulu, the Board held that, although testimonial evidence is one way to prove public accessibility, there are also various indicia of publication and other evidence that may be considered as a totality of the evidence to determine if an asserted reference was publicly accessible and prior art. Id. at 18. Facts to be considered in analyzing the issue, other than testimonial evidence, include, for example, whether there is an established publisher, a copyright date/notice, other publication-related dates (impression, printing, etc.), an ISBN number, citations to the reference before (and to a lesser degree, after) the priority date at issue corroborating its availability and/or that the publisher was established. Id. at 19–20 (see Valve Corp. v. Ironburg Inventions Ltd., 8 F.4th 1364, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2021)). Here, we find the totality of evidence supports the conclusion that Petitioner has made a sufficient showing that Svihra and Amarenco (as well as the other identified non-patent references) were printed publications, and publicly accessible, prior to the ’477 patent’s priority date. We note at the outset that Patent Owner does not allege that any contested reference is fabricated, or a counterfeit document, but only that Petitioner has not set forth sufficient facts establishing that such references were published and available. Resp. 4. Svihra bears sufficient indicia of publication to conclude it was a printed publication and publicly accessible as of 2002. Ex. 1004. First, it appears on its face to be a legitimate scientific journal article; it indicates it was included at pages 480–83 in volume 103 (No. 12) of Bratisl Lek Listy, the Bratislava Medical Journal, which was established in 1921. The article identifies that it was received for publication on May 30, 2002, and accepted for publication on December 9, 2002; and multiple means of contact for the author and publisher are provided. Id. at 480, 483. Each of these indicia supports the contention that Svihra was published and publicly available in 2002. There is no direct evidence that Svihra was publicly accessed as of this date, but the article is cited as a reference in each of Exhibits 1085–1087, which further supports that Svihra was, generally, publicly available to interested individuals of ordinary skill in the art, which further corroborates that it was a published and publicly accessible publication. Having an established publisher also creates a presumption of publication for Svihra, which has not been rebutted by Patent Owner. VidStream, 981 F.3d at 1065.” slip op. at 22

“Ex. 1001, claim 1. In other words, to effectuate “direct” stimulation of the PTN nerve branch, a practitioner of the ’742 patent must: (1) non-invasively position an electrical stimulator relative to a portion of a patient’s body, such that a branch of a posterior tibial nerve within the first portion of the body is directly targeted by the electrical stimulator; (2) passing a current through the electrical stimulator; and (3) delivering an electrical stimulus from the electrical stimulator to the branch of the posterior tibial nerve such that the branch directly receives the electrical stimulation.

“the evidence of record, that a person of ordinary skill in the art would have found it obvious to modify the teachings of Svihra by non-invasively stimulating a nerve branch of the PTN, e.g., the medial or lateral plantar nerves, as taught by Ponsford, to treat OAB/urinary incontinence. A skilled artisan would have understood that the fibers of a given branch of the PTN necessarily constitute a subset of the PTN fibers, stimulation of which is known to be effective in the treatment of OAB/urinary incontinence. See Ex. 1004, 480–481. Just as it was known in the art that stimulation of the much larger sacral nerve, of which the fibers of the PTN form a part, could have beneficial effects in the treatment of incontinence, and that stimulation of the PTN itself could have a similar effect (see Ex. 1084, col. 12, ll. 33–52), so, a skilled artisan could reason, might electrical stimulation of a branch of the PTN exert a similar effect. We also agree that a person of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to stimulate a smaller nerve branch of the PTN, rather than the entire PTN itself, so as to minimize undesirable side effects of stimulating the entire PTN, i.e., the recruitment of downstream muscular contraction, as taught by Mann. With respect as to whether a person of ordinary skill in the art would have had a reasonable expectation of success in the treatment of OAB/incontinence via stimulation of a branch of the PTN, rather than the entire PTN itself, we agree with Petitioner that a person of ordinary skill in the art, would understand from Mann that electrical stimulation of the larger, more central sacral nerve could be employed to treat OAB/urinary incontinence, and that a subset of those PTN fibers could be electrically stimulated to achieve a similar effect. See Ex. 1084, col. 12, ll. 33–52. Such a skilled artisan could similarly reason that a subset of those PTN fibers, i.e., a branch of the PTN, particularly major branches such as the plantar nerves, could also be similarly electrically stimulated to treat OAB/urinary incontinence. Although success in such an experiment would not be guaranteed, “only a reasonable expectation of success, not absolute predictability, is necessary for a conclusion of obviousness.” In re Longi, 759 F.2d 887, 897 (Fed.

Neither party presents any arguments relating or referring to the level of ordinary skill in the art. Determining the level of ordinary skill in the art involves various factors, including the “type of problems encountered in the art; prior art solutions to those problems; rapidity with which innovations are made; sophistication of the technology; and educational level of active workers in the field.” In re GPAC Inc., 57 F.3d 1573, 1579 (Fed.
