Lippert slideout patent held to be ‘unpatentable’

(Aug. 20, 2015) -- "Whether one or both tracks in Nebel are mounted to the side wall, however, is not significant because the claims require only a single engagement member or track mounted to a side wall. Thus, even if Nebel is limited to one engagement member on the side wall and one engagement under the floor, it still supports petitioner’s position," the court ruled.
