The MLC alleges that Spotify’s recent decision to reclassify its Premium subscription service as a bundled subscription offering, leading the streaming company to reduce service revenue reported to the MLC by nearly 50%, is based on a faulty rationale that violates Spotify’s revenue reporting responsibilities for the service.]]></description>

  110. <description><![CDATA[As we have reported recently, IPWatchdog broke news last week about a Reddit thread dedicated to purported patent examiners in which one examiner asked their peers for advice on how to approach examination of patents that have purposes they may fundamentally disagree with politically--specifically, a patent geared toward Israeli military technology. At the time the story broke, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) indicated that it does not, as a general practice, comment on "unverified statements by anonymous commenters on Reddit or any other social media platform.”]]></description>

The case involved “flocked” swabs “for collecting biological specimens.” The claims cover “a rod [with] a tip covered with fiber with hydrophilic properties” that can absorb biological specimens.  Copan holds several patents on flocked swabs and methods of using them.]]></description>

This week saw only 15 new filings at the PTAB (one PGR and 14 inter partes reviews (IPRs)). Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. filed one third of the IPRs at the PTAB, challenging three Dexcom Inc. Patents in five IPRs. Amazon filed two IPRs against one Nokia Technologies OY [associated with Nokia Corporation] patent while Voltage LLC filed two IPRs challenging two Shoals Technologies Group, LLC patents. Pictiva Displays International Ltd. [associated with Key Patent Innovations Limited] had one patent challenged in an IPR by Samsung (discussed below).]]></description>

Pointing to developments such as the Unified Patent Court (UPC), Newman said “it’s a time of change and flux, and we can learn a good deal, not only from the UPC, but the way the law is developing in jurisdictions like Japan and China.”]]></description>

  268. <description><![CDATA[On May 13, trademark law firm Chestek PLLC filed a petition for writ of certiorari asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a challenge to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) promulgation of rules requiring trademark applicants to disclose their domicile address to the agency. According to Chestek’s petition, the Federal Circuit’s lower ruling improperly reads the agency’s notice-and-comment requirement for all general rulemaking out of the relevant statute, here resulting in the unwanted disclosure of sensitive personal information that could put certain trademark applicants at risk of stalking or abuse.]]></description>

  293. <description><![CDATA[IP litigation is becoming more and more complicated—and more and more interesting. It is most important—extremely important to the nation, and all nations—that advances in technology be accompanied by full and fair dispute resolution and by fair and just law. Justice—this is where the judges come in. The target of litigation is the judge. The judge will decide who wins and who loses—that’s what judges do. These elaborate techniques we’re talking about at this meeting have only one purpose—to persuade the judge that you’re right and the opponent is wrong.]]></description>

  322. <description><![CDATA[By now, you are aware that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on May 10, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 40439), that would dramatically alter patent applicant and patentee statutory rights in their patent filings by proposing a draconian change to the requirements for submission of a terminal disclaimer (TD). Several blogs, including IPWatchdog, have reported on it. Comments are due by July 10, 2024.]]></description>

  351. <description><![CDATA[Imagine building a house and by law, 20 years from completion, all ownership rights to the asset expired permanently whether retained by the original owner or obtained through purchase. Notwithstanding rising real estate values, the ability to reap the benefit of that asset’s appreciation would decrease rapidly for every year the property was owned. After 20 years, as the house passed into the public domain, you might continue to live there, but its investment or resale value would effectively become zero. This is the reality for intellectual property rights, which are time-limited by law, a condition established by the U.S. Constitution.]]></description>

  380. <description><![CDATA[The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) recent Request for Comments (RFC) on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) highlights a critical juncture in intellectual property law—evaluating the impact of generative AI (GenAI) on the non-obviousness standard. As GenAI technologies integrate deeply with human intellect, possibly even enhancing cognitive capacities, we must reassess what constitutes “progress” and the constitutional value that intellectual property law was envisioned to advance.]]></description>

Exhibit A could be Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Senator J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) “Invent It Here, Make It Here” bill. Despite the name and its good intentions, it condemns promising federally funded inventions to waste away without doing a thing to build our domestic manufacturing base. It’s scheduled to be considered this Thursday in the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.]]></description>
