Intellectual property advisory firm I/P Engine will petition the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for a review of its patent infringement case before the court’s entire bench, said the I/P Engine’s parent company Vringo in a news release Wednesday (http://bit.ly/1vxzFpT). In a 2-1 decision, the court panel ruled in favor AOL, Google and other defendants in the patent case brought by I/P Engine, reversing an earlier ruling by the U.S. District Court for Eastern Virginia (http://1.usa.gov/1rdqu1j). I/P Engine accused the defendants of infringing U.S. Patent Nos. 6,314,420 and 6,775,664, which describe filters for Internet search results. “The fundamental flaw in I/P Engine’s argument is that using an individual user’s search query for filtering was a technique widely applied in the prior art,” said the court ruling. I/P Engine filed an unopposed motion seeking a 30-day extension to file its review, said the release. If granted, the company will have until Oct. 15 to file for the review, its said.
