    PTAB To Review Patent Tied To Cisco's $2.75B Loss

    A trio of judges on the Patent Trial and Appeal Board said Wednesday that there was "a reasonable likelihood" a patent owned by a small Virginia cybersecurity startup should never have been issued in the first place and instituted a review, even though the startup already asserted the patent to win a multibillion-dollar judgment against Cisco almost two years ago.
