Strangely, I was banned by the nascent web service PostGrant Portal without explanation, presumably because I am a founder of Patdek. This is the second time I've been banned by a service because of my association with Patdek.

IPRs against VirnetX patents swept aside - again
PTAB denies seven IPR petitions filed by RPX against VirnetX. The IPRs relate to four patents involved in a $368M jury verdict against Apple and in favor of VirnetX, plus a 0.98% royalty for ongoing iPad and iPhone sales. The PTAB determined that even though Apple didn't file the IPRs (because Apple was time-barred), RPX was a mere proxy for Apple, and therefore RPX was also time-barred.
