We're learning today that Apple Inc.‘s successful agency challenge to a camera patent will stand after the Federal Circuit rejected the owner’s argument that the case should be reheard.

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidated parts of Corephotonics Ltd.'s patent on a multi-aperture imaging system that fuses wide-angle and telephoto images.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the board’s ruling in a nonprecedential opinion, rejecting Corephotonics’ argument that the board issued its decision in violation of the appointments clause. For more, read the pay-walled report on Bloomberg Law.

It's unknown what importance the invalidation of a single patent is considering that Corephotonics has used many patents in their patent infringement cases against Apple that we covered in 2018 and 2019.
