Maxell, the Japanese consumer electronics company, experienced a setback as the Federal Circuit upheld a patent board ruling against it. The decision nullified all claims in a battery patent that Maxell had asserted in a legal dispute with a Chinese competitor. The panel of judges at the Federal Circuit declined to reverse the ruling from the patent board, thereby reinforcing the outcome that invalidated Maxell’s patent claims.
