Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corp. v. Unified Patents, LLC

 
APPEAL NO.
23-2110
OP. BELOW
SUBJECT
Patent
AUTHOR
Moore

Question(s) Presented

1. “Does the AIA create informational rights?”

2. “Does a patent owner faced with a petition for inter partes review have a right to know the identities of all real parties in interest to the petition?”

3. “Does informational standing require a right that does not only arise in the context of IPR proceedings?”

4. “Does informational standing require a special statutory cause of action?”

5. “Does 35 U.S.C. § 314(d) bar judicial review of the Board’s refusal to enforce a patent owner’s informational right under § 312(a)(2) as part of the Board’s final written decision?”

6. “Does establishing an injury in fact from the violation of a patent owner’s right to information under § 312(a)(2) require evidence that the patent owner ‘will be barred from asserting estoppel’ against the disputed real parties in interest in a future proceeding, or is it sufficient to show that the patent owner would be hindered in attempting to establish estoppel in such a future proceeding, as Dolby demonstrated?”
