ST CASE1TECH , LLC v. SQUIRES 2
______________________
Before P ROST , T ARANTO, and STARK, Circuit Judges.
P ER CURIAM .
This appeal is a companion to ST Case1Tech, LLC
v. Squires, Nos. 23-2305 and 23-2306, decided today, in
which we affirm the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal
Board (Board) that claims 14–17 of U.S. Patent
No. 8,111,839 are unpatentable for obviousness. In the
present appeal, ST Case1Tech brings a materially identical
challenge to the Board’s separate decision holding un-
patentable claims 17–20 of U.S. Patent No. 9,124,982. See
Samsung Electronics Co. v. Staton Techiya, LLC,
IPR2022-00234 at 65–71 (P.T.A.B. June 14, 2023), J.A. 65–
71. The parties’ briefs here present arguments not materi-
ally different from those presented in the companion case
and cite no portions of the record materially different from
the record materials cited in Nos. 23-2305 and 23-2306.
Our reasoning in the decision in those two appeals thus ap-
plies with equal force here. Accordingly, we affirm the de-
cision of the Board.
AFFIRMED
