Pre-AIA Patent Applications Filed Before but Published After the Priority Date of a Challenged Patent are “Printed Publications” for IPRs

On January 14, 2025, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued a ruling in Lynk Labs, Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., No. 23-2346, clarifying whether a patent application that is § 102(e)(1) prior art qualifies as a prior art printed publication in an IPR proceeding. Senior Patent Agent Samantha Page and IP attorney Kimberly Vines take a look at that ruling in this Stites & Harbison Client alert.
