United States Federal Circuit

In this patent action involving Kevin Imes's patent application directed to a device for communicating digital camera image and video information over a network, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board affirmed the examiner's rejections of all pending claims as either anticipated by or obvious over various references. The judgment is reversed and remanded, where: 1) the Board incorrectly construed "wireless" and its rejection of claims 1-5 is not supported under the correct construction; and 2) the Board's conclusion that Knowles discloses a communications module operable to wirelessly communicate streaming video to a destination is not supported by substantial evidence.
