On January 25, 2018, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered a decision fully denying institution of an inter partes review challenge brought by NetApp against Realtime Data's U.S. Patent 7,161,506. The win represents the fourth complete denial of institution obtained by Noroozi PC for Realtime Data, and eliminates the last of six IPR petitions NetApp brought against Realtime's patents. NetApp voluntarily withdrew two other petitions.
