Long before Kylie Jenner became famous for being famous (thanks in part to Paris Hilton and Ryan Seacrest), the only other celebrity named Kylie that I knew was Kylie Minogue. In recent years, Kylie Jenner has been building some star power of her own by receiving media attention. Now, she has her own website (that you need to pay monthly subscription to access some of her contents) and a long list of products with her name splattered all over it. 

So naturally, as any smart business woman would do, Kylie Jenner has filed several trademark applications before the USPTO, one of which brings me much interest. 

It's been over a year since I wrote my article about SpaceX so this is a long overdue part 2 article on IPR re: SpaceX v. Blue Origin. I thought I'd write it because SpaceX is launching Falcon 9 rocket this Friday. 

By the way, it's crazy that IPRookie's been around for some time now. Quick shout out to my loyal readers.

I want to remind everyone that back in August 2014, SpaceX filed two petitions (instituting two separate cases): one for Blue Origin's method claims (Claims 1 through 13) and one for Blue Origin's system claims (Claims 14, 15) in U.S. Patent No. 8,678,321 (the "'321 Patent") More specifically, SpaceX challenged the '321 Patent on grounds that claims 1-13 were anticipated/obvious under Sections 102 and 103; and claims 14 and 15 were obvious under Section 103. At the time that I posted my previous article, Blue Origin's response to the petition was still due. It turns out, they never filed a preliminary response to the petition.
