Federal Circuit Upholds PTAB Invalidating Intertainer Patent in Case Hulu Won

The Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board was correct when it declared invalid an Intertainer patent for creating and distributing videos with clickable links, said the U.S Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in an opinion (in Pacer) Friday affirming PTAB's 2015 decision. Hulu had challenged the patent. Intertainer challenged PTAB's construction of various claim terms, but the Federal Circuit decision by Judges Raymond Chen and Kara Stoll and written by Sharon Prost dismissed those arguments. Intertainer didn't comment Monday.
