Netlist, Inc. v. Micron Technology, Inc.

Summary

The court affirmed the Board's determination that all challenged claims of the patent were unpatentable as obvious over the asserted prior art. It held that substantial evidence supported the Board's findings that the prior art taught enabling buffer data paths according to a latency parameter and enabling data paths within the buffers. The court also rejected the asserted APA violations, concluding that one argument was inadequately raised and that the Board sufficiently explained its treatment of the dependent claims.
