- The Supreme Court declined to hear Gesture Technology Partners' appeal challenging the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's authority to review expired patents, leaving intact a Federal Circuit decision that invalidated the company's camera-based sensing patent. - The Federal Circuit affirmed that PTAB maintains jurisdiction over expired patents because patent owners retain the right to sue for past damages after expiration, creating a live controversy that justifies administrative review. - The decision strengthens the PTAB's role as a central forum in patent disputes and allows tech companies to continue challenging older patents through administrative proceedings rather than only through federal court litigation.
