The Appeals Court agreed with ISE and found that all three patents are invalid. These patents formed the basis of litigation that CBOE brought against ISE in the case of Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated v. International Securities Exchange, LLC (Case No. 1:13-cv-01339-JMF). The case was dismissed by the trial court, following the earlier PTAB decision to invalidate the patents.
