Our May 23, June 28, July 13, August 3 and September 11 posts discussed the First Circuit’s January 12 decision in Mission Product Holdings, Inc. v. Tempnology, LLC.[1] and, most recently, the pending petition for certiorari.  On October 23, the Supreme Court granted the petition, limited to the main question concerning the effect of the rejection of a trademark license. 

We continue to monitor developments in what could become one of the most consequential Supreme Court cases on bankruptcy in decades.


[1]  879 F.3d 389 (1st Cir. 2018), petition for cert. filed, No. 17-1657 (June 11, 2018).
