How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that this court may not review the board’s application of the 35 U.S.C. § 315(b) time bar because that “bar does not impact the Board’s authority to invalidate a patent claim—it only bars particular peti- tioners from challenging the claim” (emphasis added)
• appealability bar applies to institution decisions “even if such assessment is reconsidered during the merits phase of proceedings and restated as part of the Board’s final written decision”
• “Just as the pleading in Cuozzo could have been sufficient by the inclusion of the missing prior art reference, . . . the timeliness issue here could have been avoided if Apple’s petition had been filed a year earlier or if a petition identical to Apple’s were filed by another[.]”
