In DoDots Licensing Solutions LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Apple Inc. also appellee), Nos. 2025-1263, 2025-1264, and 2025-1265 (Fed. Cir. Sep. 15, 2026), the court affirmed the Patent Trial and Appeal Board under Rule 36. The judgment lists IPR2023-00621, IPR2023-00701, IPR2023-00756, IPR2024-00143, IPR2024-00144, and IPR2024-00145.
Patents under review
Public PTAB records map those six IPRs to three patents. IPR2023-00621 and joined IPR2024-00143 challenge U.S. Patent 8,020,083 (creating and authoring internet content with application media packages). IPR2023-00701 and joined IPR2024-00145 challenge U.S. Patent 8,510,407 (displaying time-varying internet-based data with application media). IPR2023-00756 and joined IPR2024-00144 challenge U.S. Patent 9,369,545 (accessing and displaying network content). The same three patents appeared in DoDots district suits against Samsung and Apple.
What a Rule 36 affirmance means
Rule 36 affirms without a written opinion. It ends the appeal in the appellees' favor on the Board decisions under review, but it does not create new precedential claim-construction or validity doctrine you can cite as a reasoned holding.
What to watch next
Watch the underlying PTAB final written decisions for claim-by-claim results on the '083, '407, and '545 patents. Also watch any remaining district-court DoDots activity against handset makers after these affirmances.
