Leading developer of magnetic sensors and embedded
memory solutions, Crocus Technology, has prevailed on the office of United States Patent and Trademark in the Inter Partes Review of US Patent
No. 6,980,469, Case No. IPR2014-00047 against Spin Transfer Technologies,
reports ITRealms.
The ’469 patent concerns high-speed low-power magnetic devices utilizing induced spin-momentum transfer technologies, which are included in a patent portfolio held by Spin Transfer Technologies Inc. (STT).

Crocus petitioned to cancel all or part of the patent,
explaining that the ’469 patent claims a technology found in the prior art.
Notably, Crocus’s patent portfolio includes a patent on this technology that
makes advanced non-volatile memory blocks more efficient.
After careful consideration, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the US Patent and Trademark Office issued its final written decision cancelling or finding unpatentable all but three claims of the ’469 patent. Specifically, claims 1-12, 14-20, 22-31 and 33-35 were cancelled or found unpatentable by a preponderance of the evidence. The Board issued its decision on March 26, 2015 and the time limit for appeal has now passed.
Michel Desbard, CEO of Crocus Technology said Crocus is highly satisfied with the US Patent and Trademark Office’s decision in this case, stressing that Crocus has invested many years in building a solid IP portfolio of technologies to bring performance and cost advantages to consumer and industrial applications.
