The PTAB denied Petitioner’s request for rehearing of a decision declining to institute an IPR in Conopco Inc. dba Unilever v. The Proctor & Gamble Co., IPR2014-00628, Paper 23 (March 20, 2015). This was Unilever’s second petition against the same patent. See IPR2013-00510, Paper 2. The petition was denied in-part for raising “substantially the same prior art or argument” presented in the first petition. Paper 23 at 3 (citing 35 U.S.C. §325(d)).
