PTAB Nixes Symantec Computer Back-Up Patent In AIA Review

Lori A. Gordon, Michael Q. Lee, Jonathan Strang, and Daniel Block are mentioned in the article “PTAB Nixes Symantec Computer Back-Up Patent In AIA Review” as representing Veeam Software Corp. in Veeam’s inter partes review proceeding against Symantec Corp. Veeam successfully proved to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) that claims 1, 2, 6, 7, and 12-15 of Symantec’s U.S. Patent Number 7,480,822 are unpatentable. The ‘822 patent is one of eight patents asserted against Veeam by Symantec, and Symantec’s motion to amend the patent to substitute certain claims was rejected by the PTAB.
