Invalidity Challenges May Star Simple Words–Reading of 'Command Function' Doomed Obviousness Dispute | Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP


In
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC v. Promptu Systems Corp.,
1 the Federal Circuit held that the plain meaning of the claim phrase “command function” was limited to functions that command an action to be taken. The meaning of this claim phrase turned out to be a focal point, and Comcast lost its invalidity challenge to the claims as a result of this interpretation.
Comcast filed a petition for
inter partes review (IPR) of U.S. Patent No. 7,260,538 (the ’538 patent) on the grounds that the contested claims would have been obvious in view of two prior art references U.S. Patent No. 6,513,063 (Julia) or U.S. Patent No. 7,013,283 (Murdock) alone or in combination with U.S. Patent No. 5,774,859 (Houser).
