AUSTIN,
Texas, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On
August 1, 2024, McKool Smith
secured a significant victory on behalf of Parus Holdings in an
inter partes review dispute filed by Google before the
Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). After hearing arguments on
both sides, the Board issued a final written decision rejecting
Google's arguments and finding Parus' claims of U.S. Patent No.
6,721,705 patentable. The current victory follows prior wins in
which the Board denied Google's requests to review the claims of
Parus' U.S. Patents Nos. 7,386,455 and 7,516,190.
The '705 patent is related to innovative voice processing
systems capable of capturing voice commands and accessing requested
information on the Internet. The pioneering technology was
developed by Parus' Chief Scientist Alex
Kurganov. The '705 patent, along with the '455 and '190
patents, have also been asserted in district court litigation.
The McKool Smith team includes firm Principals Scott Hejny, James
Quigley, and Charles Fowler,
and Patent Agent Mike Wustrau.
