You Snooze, You Lose: Federal Circuit Emphasized Once Again the Importance of Preserving Issues for Appellate Review
Briefly

On March 7, 2025, the Federal Circuit upheld the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's decision to invalidate AliveCor's three patents related to ECG technology. Earlier, the ITC had found that Apple Watch devices infringed on two of these patents. AliveCor, specializing in AI-driven ECG sensors, litigated against Apple since 2021 for patent infringement. Apple, while producing key documents in the ITC case, rejected AliveCor's attempts to negotiate discovery for the IPRs, complicating the legal landscape between the two tech giants.
"On March 7, 2025, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Board's decisions invalidating all claims of three AliveCor patents, affecting their market position significantly."
"AliveCor had accused Apple of infringing on their ECG sensor patents; however, the invalidation of these patents changes the competitive landscape for wearable technology."
