RAFFEL SYSTEMS , LLC v. MAN WAH HOLDINGS LIMITED 2
______________________
Before REYNA, H UGHES , and STOLL, Circuit Judges.
PER C URIAM.
Raffel Systems, LLC appeals the decision of the Patent
Trial and Appeal Board concluding that claim 1 of U.S. Pa-
tent No. D821,986 is unpatentable under the on-sale bar.
The Board found that an email sent by patent owner Raffel
offered for sale an embodiment of the claim in small quan-
tities on-demand over a year before the priority date of the
patent. We have considered the appellant’s arguments that
the Board’s on-sale determination was unsupported by sub-
stantial evidence and find them unpersuasive. We there-
fore affirm.
AFFIRMED
