2 SATCO PRODUCTS, INC. v. LIGHTING SCIENCE GROUP CORP.
PER CURIAM.
In this case, the Board found claim 15 of U.S. Patent
No. 8,967,844 not unpatentable in view of Tickner and Van
De Ven based on arguments solely related to the limita-
tions of claim 1, from which claim 15 depends. The Board’s
decision finding claim 15 of the ‘844 patent not unpatenta-
ble in view of Tickner and Van De Ven is supported by sub-
stantial evidence. In an earlier, related proceeding—
IPR2017-01280—the Board found claim 1 of the ‘844 pa-
tent, unpatentable over Chou and Wegner. On appeal, Pe-
titioner has failed to argue that the Board’s decision
invalidating claim 1 in the earlier proceeding abrogated the
basis for the Board’s decision. See MaxLinear, Inc. v. CF
CRESPE LLC, 880 F.3d 1373 (Fed. Cir. 2018). This argu-
ment is thus waived.
AFFIRMED
