KEURIG GREEN MOUNTAIN, INC., Petitioner, v.
TOUCH COFFEE & BEVERAGES, LLC, Patent Owner.
Case IPR2016-01390; Patent 9,144,343 B2
According to the PTAB, Keurig did not provide adequate “articulated reasoning,” for establishing a reasonable likelihood of prevailing. Expert witnesses cannot merely say something is obvious. They need to explain why it’s obvious.
