The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued a precedential decision on Friday, August 14, in The Nielsen Company (US), LLC v. TVision Insights, Inc., affirming a Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) final written decision that invalidated challenged claims of a Nielsen audience measurement patent as obvious. The court rejected arguments that the Board improperly relied on a scientific publication as analogous prior art and that the publication failed to disclose the claimed resolution reducing and facial recognition steps.
