Why this is the better demo case

The earlier AICP example is useful for semiconductor litigation, but the asserted patent issued in 2009. Switch Project v. Zhang is a tighter product demo for “recently issued patent asserted in litigation.”

  1. 1The asserted patent issued on October 29, 2024, less than six months before the April 4, 2025 complaint.
  2. 2The case has public docket entries identifying the complaint, the asserted patents, accused-product listings, and claim-chart exhibits.
  3. 3PatentBear renders the patent cleanly, including the title, issue date, assignee, abstract, claims, figures, and patent-specific Ursa panel.
  4. 4The technology is easy to explain in a demo: EMF shielding layers for electronic devices, with claim language visible in the reader.
