CPC Patent Technologies Pty Ltd is pleased to advise shareholders that on 27 May 2026 the United States Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has issued a Final Written Decision that further key claims of CPC’s US Patent No. 8,620,039 are patentable which confirms the validity of CPC’s patent. The patent relates to biometric card security technology and forms part of CPC’s intellectual property portfolio in the United States.
The decision follows an appeal by CPC to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which overturned an earlier PTAB ruling and returned the matter for reconsideration. Following that review, the same PTAB panel of judges again found in favour of CPC and determined that Assa Abloy failed to establish, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the challenged patent claims are invalid.
The Company views this outcome as a significant validation of CPC’s technology and intellectual property position in the US. This ruling strengthens CPC’s ability to continue pursuing commercial opportunities, licensing discussions, and enforcement of its patent rights where appropriate.
