In a recent decision by The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), all challenged claims in a point-of-sale (PoS) patent owned by CloudofChange LLC have been declared unpatentable. This patent is involved in a lawsuit, set for a jury trial in Texas, which is slated to commence in the early part of next year.
The original article, published on Law360, provides a detailed exposition of the legal intricacies involved in this case. The PTAB’s decision has the potential to significantly affect the proceedings of the impending jury trial, and possibly its outcome as well.
CloudofChange LLC, the company embroiled in this legal dispute, specialises in point-of-sale technologies, which occupy a rapidly growing sector of the commercial marketplace. The ruling against their patent by the PTAB could establish a precedent for future cases pertaining to PoS patents and their legal defensibility.
