FIRMS IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2015

20 July 2015 | Michael Loney, New York

Managing IP analyses the busiest companies and law firms at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board so far this year, using Docket Navigator. The first half was notable for petitions from automotive companies and the Coalition for Affordable Drugs, while an Acacia Research subsidiary was the most targeted entity

Managing IP used Docket Navigator to conduct an analysis of Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB)

petitions filed in the first half of 2015 to reveal the most-active companies and people at the PTAB.

Sometimes more than one company is listed on a petition. We have counted these companies

separately if they are from different organisations. However, we have counted different subsidiaries

of the same company on the same petition only once where we could. For example, a petition that

lists both Samsung Electronics America and Samsung Electronics Co on the same petition would be

counted only once under "Samsung".

Apple keeps hold of top spot

Apple filed the most PTAB petitions in the first half of 2015. The technology company has been the

biggest filer of petitions since they became available in 2012. It filed the most petitions in the whole

of 2014, with 86.

Its 69 petitions in the first half of the year means it is filing at an even quicker pace than it did last

year. Fifty-five of these petitions were for inter partes review (IPR) and 14 of them were for covered

business method (CBM) reviews.

Samsung, in second place for number of PTAB petitions in the first half of 2015, has also been filing

at a quicker rate than last year. Its 53 petitions filed in the first half of this year compares with 61 in

the whole of last year.

In contrast Google, in third place for petitions filed in the first half of 2015, is filing at a slightly slower

rate than it was in the whole of 2014. In the first half of this year it filed 27 petitions – 20 IPRs and

seven CBMs. It filed 61 PTAB petitions in the whole of 2014.

PTAB 2015 STATISTICS

2 MANAGINGIP.COM JULY 2015

Only these top three PTAB petitioners in the first half of 2015 filed more than 20 petitions.

However, the petitions filed in the first half were notable for two developments.

One was the prominence of automotive-related petitions. TRW filed 19 petitions, Ford filed 18,

Toyota, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz each were on 16 petitions, while Fiat filed eight, and

Volkswagon filed five.

Automotive companies have stepped up their use of the PTAB in response to an increase in patent

litigation in their industry from non-practicing entities. In contrast, in the whole of 2014, Ford

filed 17 petitions, Mercedes-Benz 15, Honda 14, TRW 13 and Nissan 11.

The second trend was the attempt by the Coalition for Affordable Drugs, which had never filed any

PTAB petitions before January this year, to get pharmaceutical companies’ patents invalidated at the

PTAB. The coalition – which is backed by Kyle Bass’s Hayman Capital hedge Fund, Erich

Spangenberg’s nXn Partnersm, and IP Nav – filed 16 petitions in the first half.

The most targeted companies

The most targeted entity in the first half was Innovative Display Technologies, which is a subsidiary

of Acacia Research. Seventeen IPRs were filed by Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota, Volkswagon,

Sony and Koito Manufacturing challenging Innovative Display patents. Twenty-two IPRs were filed

against patents held by Innovative Display Technologies in 2014.

Magna Electronics was the second most-targeted patent owner in the first half. It had 23 IPR

petitions filed against its patents – 19 filed by TRW and four by Valeo North America.

The third-most targeted company was Smartflash. Seventeen CBMs were filed challenging patents it

owns – 11 by Apple, five by Google and one by Samsung.

The busiest law firms for PTAB work

Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner was the busiest law firm at the PTAB in the first

half, topping the lists for work for both petitioners and patent owners. It filed 64 petitions on behalf of

patents owners, while representing patent owners in 47 petitions filed this year.

Fish & Richardson was in second place for both patent owners and petitioners. It filed 58 petitions on

behalf of patent owners, and represented patent owners in 33 petitions filed this year.

Sterne Kessler was in third place for both patent owners and petitioners, filing 49 petitions and

representing patent owners on 31 petitions.
