FAS Technologies, Inc., claim construction issues have been subject to de novo review on appeal. Under this standard of review, no formal deference is given to findings of the district court.

06.18.2013Supreme Court Issues Significant Patent Antitrust Decision Rejecting the “Scope of the Patent” RuleUpdatesIn the most significant patent antitrust decision in decades, Federal Trade Commission v. Actavis, Inc., No. 12-416, 2013 WL 2922122 (June 17, 2013), the Supreme Court has held, by a 5-3 vote with Justice Alito recused, that reverse payment patent settlements are subject to antitrust scrutiny. Although the Court rejected the Federal Trade Commission’s request that it go further and deem such settlements presumptively anticompetitive, the Court’s decision resolves a circuit split under which most courts had held that a settlement was not subject to antitrust review so long as it fell within the legitimate scope of the patent’s exclusionary power. Monday’s decision expressly rejects that “scope of the patent” rule.

06.14.2013Supreme Court Rules That Isolated Genes Are Unpatentable Products of NatureUpdatesYesterday, the Supreme Court issued its highly anticipated decision in Association for Molecular Pathology v.

The Court also held that complementary DNA (cDNA) molecules excluding “intron” portions of the natural DNA sequence are patent eligible.

06.14.2013USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board Completes the First Patent Invalidity Trial Under the America Invents ActUpdatesIn its first “final” decision under the America Invents Act (AIA), the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has invalidated and cancelled all five challenged claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,553,350, finding that the claims recited unpatentably abstract ideas and did not recite a “useful” invention as required by 35 U.S.C. § 101. A jury in a Texas federal district court had previously found that the petitioner, SAP America, Inc., infringed three of the claims at issue in the petition, awarding patent owner Versata Software, Inc. $345 million in damages. A Federal Circuit panel affirmed that award last month, although SAP has petitioned for rehearing (on grounds relating to infringement and damages rather than validity).

Among other practical consequences, this change will (1) expand the scope of what constitutes prior art and (2) phase out interference proceedings used to resolve disputes regarding who first invented a technology.

11.29.2012Federal Circuit Clarifies Expanded Standing to Bring Walker Process Antitrust ClaimsUpdatesOn November 20, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a decision in Ritz Camera & Image, LLC v.

04.18.2012Supreme Court Affirms Patent Applicants’ Freedom to Introduce New Evidence in District Court Actions Under 35 U.S.C. § 145UpdatesPatent applicants who are dissatisfied with a rejection by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences have two options for review. They can appeal directly to the Federal Circuit, which will review the Board’s decision on the record before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Alternatively, 35 U.S.C. § 145 provides that an applicant may “have remedy by civil action against the Director” of the Patent Office in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The primary issue in Kappos v. Hyatt was what limitations, if any, exist on an applicant’s right to submit new evidence that was not before the Patent Office in such a district court action.

06.28.2010Business Methods Patents Survive, But Not Bilski’s PatentUpdatesBy a 5-4 vote, the United States Supreme Court has rejected the notion that business methods are categorically unpatentable. By a unanimous vote, however, the Court has affirmed the PTO and Federal Circuit’s rulings rejecting Bilski’s patent claims on methods of hedging commodity risks. The Court also unanimously agreed that while the "machine or transformation" test adopted by the Federal Circuit is a useful indicator of patentability, it is not the sole test for patentability under Section 101 of the Patent Act. Although many had feared--and some had hoped--that all software patents were in jeopardy, the Court’s relatively narrow decision should allay those fears and dash those hopes.

Solo Cup Co., No. 2009-1547 (June 10, 2010), that the false marking statute, 35 U.S.C. § 292, applies to products marked with expired patents, although the presumption of intent to deceive the public is weaker in such cases than in cases involving marking with patents that never covered the product.
