Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney Attorneys Charles F. Wieland and Robert G. Mukai Obtain CBM Review Victory for Firm Client

A recent Law360 article highlights a victory for firm client, SimpleAir, who is represented by Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney Shareholders Charles F. Wieland and Robert G. Mukai. On Thursday, January 22, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board struck down Google’s Covered Business Method Review, a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office post-grant proceeding which determines the validity of a patent, which the company brought upon SimpleAir’s network messaging patent to avoid an $85 M dollar Eastern District of Texas judgment, reports the article.
