(United States Federal Circuit) - In an appeal of a final decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in an inter partes reexamination of patented methods of compressing and transmitting digital video data,the Board's decision is affirmed over plaintiff's argument that the Board improperly instituted the reexamination proceedings and erred in finding that the challenged claims are invalid as anticipated, where the Board did not exceed its statutory authority when instituting the reexamination and substantial evidence supports the Board's finding of anticipation.
