ITC Affirms Summary Determinations of Patent Invalidity Based on Indefiniteness in Wireless Headsets and Automated Teller Machines

Trend or coincidence? The International Trade Commission (ITC) has affirmed summary determination rulings of patent invalidity in two, separate investigations: Certain Wireless Headsets, Inv. No. 337-TA-943 and Certain Automated Teller Machines and Point of Sale Devices and Associated Software Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-958. This follows the April 4, 2016 affirmance of ALJ Lord’s Section 101-based invalidity summary determination in Certain Activity Tracking Devices, Systems, and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-963 [see our previous blog post].
