A win for the WALLET NINJA design patent owner in the Federal Circuit: www.cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-ord...
On first skim, this decision might be most notable for its discussion of #LKQvGM:

So now they are "clear and convincing record-supported reasons"?
LKQ only says that "there must be *some* record-supported reason..." LKQ Corp. v. GM Glob. Tech. Operations LLC, 102 F.4th 1280, 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2024) (emphasis added).
That's different, of course, from the overall burden on the challenger.
