On October 2, 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) concluded in two related cases that (1) the patents are eligible for review under the transitional program for covered business method patents; but (2) there is no showing that it is more likely than not that the claims are directed to patent ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. §101. Thus, covered business method patent review was denied in both cases CBM2017-00043 (relating to U.S. Patent No. 7,529,357) and CBM2017-00044 (relating to U.S. Patent No. 8,340,260, which is a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 7,529,357).
