VLSI Technology is urging the Federal Circuit to revive a patent it successfully used to secure a $1.5 billion infringement verdict against Intel. This plea follows what VLSI alleges was an improper handling of sanctions proceedings that tainted the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (PTAB) decision to invalidate the patent in question. The company argues that the PTAB’s actions during the inter partes review (IPR) merits scrutiny and calls for the reinstatement of its patent rights.
