Court Continues to Hold IPR Institution Decisions Nonappealable

October 08, 2015

Authored and Edited by David C. Seastrunk

In Achates Reference Publishing, Inc. v. Apple Inc., Nos. 14-1767, -1788 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 30, 2015), the Federal Circuit held that it lacked jurisdiction to review the PTAB’s decision to institute IPRs of two patents asserted by Achates against Apple in district court. An analysis of this decision can be found on Finnegan’s Federal Circuit IP Blog.
