Examiner's rejection reversed in favor of Finnegan client BrainScope

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) reversed a rejection of all patent claims in a patent application related to important neurodiagnostic device features for concussion and other brain abnormality assessments. Finnegan argued throughout the examination that the examiner had interpreted a claim limitation too broadly, and failed to appreciate the advance that the application claimed. After oral argument, the PTAB judges agreed and reversed the examiner's rejection on all grounds.
