to knock the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the “fallacious” reasoning in one of its arguments defending a Patent Trial and Appeal Board decision.The appeals court’s ruling is a win for LF Centennial Ltd., which appealed after various claims in its patent were rejected during a re-examination. The patent covers a kit with different pieces for mounting a television with a shelving console.
