Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig and US Inventor were recognized for showing fiery passion for innovators. Our amicus brief helps show injustice to Island IP, ably represented by Charley Macedo at Amster Rothstein & Ebenstein LLP!
Patent & Trademark Attorney, Partner, Amster Rothstein & Ebenstein; Author: The Corporate Insider's Guide to US Patent Practice
Dennis Crouch from #patentlyo provided a nice summary of our Petition for Rehearing/Rehearing en Banc the #CAFC in Island v. TD Ameritrade, and its supporting petition from US Inventor by Robert Greenspoon. "In Island Intellectual Property, petitioner asserts the district court failed to properly apply the summary judgment standard under Rule 56 when it concluded that the claims lacked eligibility under Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank Int’l, 573 U.S. 208 (2014). Island contends the court ignored over 1,400 pages of evidence supporting patent eligibility and failed to view the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party as required at summary judgment. "US Inventor, Inc. filed an amicus brief in support of Island IP’s petition for rehearing, arguing that the Federal Circuit’s use of Rule 36 summary affirmances is problematic and should be reconsidered en banc." PatentlyO goes on to explain "Critically, both petitioners and amicus emphasize that the Federal Circuit’s Rule 36 affirmances prevented meaningful appellate review of the lower tribunal decisions." It goes on to call out the "particularly good job of providing circuit-by-circuit survey of approaches to summary affirmances". As we explained to the Court, this petition “provides an opportunity for [the Federal Circuit] to either finally eliminate the practice, or else state for high court review why it believes it is proper. The time has come to address this issue en banc.” https://lnkd.in/ehGuR-wn

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to nix Chevron deference, which holds that courts should defer to a federal agency's reasonable interpretation of a law, could give the government a tougher time defending wage and hour rules in court. https://lnkd.in/ewKTrcXW

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overrule a judicial deference doctrine may cause the "eternal fog of uncertainty" surrounding agency actions to dissipate and level the playing field in challenges of policies, but lawyers warn it raises new questions. https://lnkd.in/epen8SSh
