U.S. Patent Office institutes a thirteenth inter partes review proceeding against Kinglite.

HKW clients American Megatrends, Micro Star International and Giga-byte Technology have successfully petitioned the Patent Trial and Appeals Board to institute an inter partes review (IPR) challenging the validity of Kinglite Holdings’ U.S. Patent No. 5,836,013 addressed to compressible BIOS. HKW lawyers Steve Hill and Vivek Ganti successfully argued the petition. This marks the thirteenth Kinglite patent that HKW has placed into IPR on behalf of these clients.
