The dispute originated from an IPR that Rakuten Rewards, doing business as Ebates Performance Marketing, petitioned for IPR at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), challenging claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,631,346. The patent relates to single sign-on (SSO) technology, which allows a user to access multiple online services with a single set of credentials. Rakuten challenged several claims on grounds of anticipation and obviousness, leading to a mixed decision from the PTAB.
