In a pivotal ruling, the Federal Circuit reversed the ITC's finding of invalidity for U.S. Patent No. 10,508,502, which concerns polycrystalline diamond compacts (PDCs). The case arose from allegations of patent infringement by companies importing products in violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act. The court emphasized the patent's compliance with eligibility standards, especially for composition-of-matter claims, thereby enhancing legal clarity and protections for patent holders facing challenges under 35 U.S.C. § 101. This decision has significant implications for the future of patent jurisprudence.
The Federal Circuit reversed the ITC's decision, clarifying that the claims of U.S. Patent No. 10,508,502 meet the patent eligibility criteria under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
This decision marks an important development in patent eligibility jurisprudence, particularly for composition-of-matter claims, and reinforces protections for patent owners.
