In VidStream LLC v. Twitter, Inc., Nos. 2019-1734, 2019-1735 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 25, 2020), the Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB’s holding that Twitter’s primary reference qualified as prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a). In doing so, the Federal Circuit explained that the PTAB properly considered evidence submitted by Twitter in its reply brief that was not previously submitted in Twitter’s IPR petitions.
