Shearman & Sterling’s IP litigation team has published its quarterly newsletter. The newsletter covers a wide range of current IP topics: updated predictions on patent policy under the Trump administration; recent happenings at the Federal Circuit, such as significant scaling back of CBM eligibility, trends in remanding PTAB obviousness determinations, and jurisdiction over patent owner challenges to PTAB IPR time-bar decisions; district court splits on the scope of IPR estoppel; and the Supreme Court’s tackling of patent venue, design patent damages, and liability under Section 271(f)(1).
