On July 18, 2022, Intuitive filed an unopposed petition to rescind the remedial orders as to the ’379 patent based on a change of the conditions that led to the Commission’s issuance of those orders, i.e., the Federal Circuit’s affirmance of the PTAB’s finding that the claims of the ’379 patent are unpatentable.
