In re Gonthier

In re Gonthier The Federal Circuit affirmed the PTAB's decision in the appeal from application No. 16/108,860 under Fed. Cir. R. 36, so the Board's decision stands unchanged. The judgment gives no reasoning. The Board's decision on the application is left intact on appeal, but the bare Rule 36 judgment gives no reasoning or guidance on any issue. Affirmed. The applicants, Alexandre Gonthier, Mario Delas, and Michael Kontorovich, appealed from the PTAB in the matter of application No. 16/108,860; the USPTO Director, John A. Squires, is the appellee. The panel (Dyk, Prost, and Taranto, Circuit Judges) heard argument and, per curiam, entered judgment on October 8, 2026: AFFIRMED under Fed. Cir. R. 36. The judgment does not identify the claims, grounds of rejection, or issues on appeal, so nothing can be drawn about the merits. non-precedential Rule 36 affirmance non-precedential Rule 36 affirmance Rule 36 affirmance
