Infiltrator Water Techs., LLC, v. Presby Patent Trust, Case IPR2018-00224 (PTAB Oct. 1, 2018) (Paper 25)

This decision applies Click-to-Call Techs., LP v. Ingenio, Inc., 899 F.3d 1321 (Fed. Cir. 2018) and determines that a complaint dismissed without prejudice for lack of personal jurisdiction triggers the § 315(b) time bar.

This decision applies 37 C.F.R. § 42.107(e) and denies institution of an inter partes review where Patent Owner has disclaimed all challenged claims prior to institution.
