DALLAS, June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- McKool Smith secured a win
on behalf of Samesurf, Inc. before the Patent Trial and Appeal
Board (PTAB) in defending the company's patent rights against
software giant, Intuit Inc.
Samesurf's patented co-browsing technology empowers multiple
remote users to share the same online experiences in real time from
any device or browser without installs of any kind. The
company's instant engagement platform also integrates novel
security features such as in-page control passing and redaction of
sensitive screen elements for critical use cases like online
support, assisted sales and real-time collaboration.
The underlying patent (U.S. Pat. No. 9,483,448) whose 16 claims
were all found valid upon re-review by the PTAB specifically
relates to "the Method and Apparatus for the Implementation of a
Real-time, Sharable Browsing Experience on a Host Device." The
associated priority date of the '448 patent relates back to
May 20, 2010.
"As pioneers in co-browsing and synchronized browsing
technology, our client is very pleased with the PTAB's
decision," said Principal Ryan
McBeth. Other McKool Smith team members who were involved
with the matter included Alan Block,
Neil Ozarkar, and Saif Askar, along with Scott Hejny and Steve
Pollinger.
The IPR matter is Intuit Inc. v. Samesurf, Inc.,
IPR2023-00341. The associated patent infringement action is
Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit, Inc. which was filed in the
Southern District of California on
March 29, 2022.
