Jetcool technology is powered by ultra-low thermal resistance systems, making it extremely efficient. In fact, Jetcool solutions reduce energy costs and water usage by replacing power and water-intensive structures such as chillers and cooling towers. This technology works with heavy processors in CPUs, GPUs, and ASICs, making it an effective tool for minimizing energy consumption in large data centers. Jetcool’s patent portfolio consists of 21 patents of which 4 have been granted.

So why is this so important? Well, by reducing the amount of energy data centers use, we can reduce our carbon footprint and help save the Earth. The less energy we use, the less impact we have on the environment. Plus, Jetcool technology is cost-effective, which means it’s not only good for the planet but also good for business.
In order to encourage and protect innovation and investment, the Colombia Phone Number Library USPTO has published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit public input on potential changes to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The proposed reform would include optional practices for initiating proceedings, limitations on the length of petitions, and settlement practices for America Invents Act (AIA) proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

Key Areas of Specific Proposals
Better alignment with the USPTO's goal and Congressional intent behind the AIA
Improving existing precedent and guidance
Threshold definitions for selective denial
Procedural improvements
Clarifying filing requirements for settlement agreements
Conclusion
The Fintiv decision, made in March 2020, resulted in a significant reduction in the number of times inter partes review (IPR) cases were denied, falling from 40-50% to 11-16%. In June 2022, Director Vidal issued a memo stating that the PTAB would not use the Fintiv criteria to deny a case if court action was pending and the petition contained strong evidence that the patent was invalid. However, in February 2023, Director Vidal clarified that PTAB panels must first analyze the Fintiv criteria before considering the merits of the case. This led to considerable confusion among the public. Two months later, with concerns growing about a potential increase in Fintiv denial rates, the USPTO announced the ANPRM.

The USPTO wants to ensure that its rules are consistent with the goals of encouraging innovation and investment, as well as the legislative intent of the AIA, which is to provide a cost-effective alternative to district court litigation to address some patentability concerns while protecting against patent infringement. Before the USPTO formulates potential regulations in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the ANPRM allows the public to submit initial feedback on proposals from both the USPTO and the public.
