On July 18, 2025, the PTAB confirmed the final rejection of all claims in the ex parte reexamination of U.S. Patent 6,917,876, owned by Route Guidance Systems LLC, an NPE. The ’876 patent is directed to route guidance systems for vehicles where the calculated route is transmitted from a central computer to a vehicle over a channel of communication in a short burst and is then closed, so that transmission to the vehicle ceases, unless and until a need for further transmission arises. The patent has been asserted against ExxonMobil, Verizon, MyPizza Technologies, Honda, Salesforce, Grubhub, HERE Global, DoorDash, MapleBear, Waitr, and others.
