Mark spoke with Perry Cooper of Bloomberg Law about today’s updates to Judge Albright’s standing orders relating to transfer/venue discovery: West Texas Judge Shifts Patent Case Rules After Fed. Cir. Order (subscription required)
Likewise, last Friday Joe shared his thoughts with Scott Graham of Law.com/Texas Lawyer about why CalTech might have chosen to sue Dell and HP in the Waco Division after previously obtaining a $1.1 billion jury verdict in the CDCA: Caltech and Quinn Head to Texas to Sue Dell and HP (subscription required)
Otherwise, here are some links we found interesting this week:
- How SCOTUS will rule on the constitutionality of the appointment of PTAB judges in Arthrex v. Smith & Nephew is one of the patent bar’s most closely-watched subjects. Here with a take on how a different Supreme Court case—Davis v. Saul, concerning the appointment of Social Security judges—may also apply to the PTAB is Steve Brachmann of IPWatchdog: What SCOTUS’[s] Decision to Scrutinize Social Security Act Appointments Clause Case Means for Arthrex
- It’s an age-old question in IP litigation: Is Software Patentable? See what Dylan O. Adams of Davis Wright Tremaine’s Startup Law Blog has to say on the subject.
- We noted last week that the Federal Circuit’s Valeant v. Mylan ruling affects proper venue in ANDA cases. Matthew Weiss, Andrew D. Cohen, and Jordan Engelhardt of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler’s Biologics Blog examine Valeant’s implications for similar actions brought under the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA): For the First Time Since TC Heartland, the Federal Circuit Addresses Venue in an ANDA Case – the Holding May Also Impact BPCIA Litigation
- Finally, although neither specifically IP-related nor attorney-authored, John Boruvka of discovery services provider Iron Mountain collects some recent useful writeups relating to Legal Discovery in the Time of COVID
