Jo Dale Carothers Quoted in Law360: Stewart Clarifies Settled Expectations In Denying Intel IPRs
Published: July 1, 2025
In a June 26 article for Law360, Dani Kass writes about the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s denial of 13 more inter partes review (IPR) petitions, reinforcing a new standard based on “settled expectations” — the idea that older patents shouldn’t be challenged after being in force for several years without prior dispute.
In response to the U.S.P.T.O’s Acting Director’s decision to deny two of Cambridge Industries’ IPR petitions against Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (AOI) patents, Weintraub Intellectual Property attorney Jo Dale Carothers, who represented Applied Optoelectronics Inc. in the case, expressed gratitude.
“Our client is pleased with the result and appreciates the director’s attention to the efficient use of resources,” Jo Dale explained.
