Podcasts about patent infringement

On August 30, 2022, Kawasaki Heavy Industries sued Rorze Corporation for patent infringement. Kawasaki accused Rorze of stealing its patented semiconductor silicon wafer handling and transfer robotic systems technology and — nearly four years later — a jury agreed. In March 2026, a jury found that Rorze willfully infringed on Kawasaki's patent and awarded $16.65 million in lost profits and $31.7 million on lost royalties. However, the $48.35 million verdict didn't end there as Kawasaki tried to triple the damages to some $145 million due to the willful infringement finding. #Manufacturing, #Robotics, #Semiconductors, #Patent, #PatentInfringement, #Kawasaki, #Rorze, #SemiconductorManufacturing, #IndustrialRobotics, #Automation, #ManufacturingNews, #Technology, #LegalNews, #Innovation, #Engineering

Grant shares the real origin story—growing up around dirt bikes and construction with his dad, the moment a tensioned bungee cord sunk into his father's hand, and how that gap in the market stuck with him for years. After becoming a dad himself and feeling limited in the trades, he dug the old "Grant Strap" idea out of his phone notes during COVID and decided to actually build it. They dig into the messy reality of inventing and launching a physical product: the prototype phase with Home Depot parts and Alibaba springs, finding the right tension (about 120 lbs on the first model), avoiding the "mailbox money" invention scammers, making and selling the first ugly versions yourself, and why "people don't buy ideas—they buy products." Grant explains how the spring-loaded design works, the continuous polyester limiter band for safety and load rating, why it stays tight when loads shift or compress (coolers, cardboard, UTVs, Jeeps), and the three models (1", 1.5", and the 2" Pro with ratchet) that cover everything from college moves to Moab trailers. The conversation also covers the less glamorous side of business—patent threats that turned into nothing, copycats, why building a strong brand and customer service is better protection than a patent alone, working-load math that goes beyond just vehicle weight, all-weather durability, proper care for lifetime performance, pack sizes, lengths, and extensions. Grant talks about his Invent With Me podcast (helping inventors avoid the same pitfalls he hit) and what's next for TorkStrap: more trade shows, social content, and partnerships rather than diluting the core product. If you've ever cursed a ratchet strap in the rain, watched a load loosen on the highway, or thought about turning a simple idea into a real business, this one's for you. **Timestamps** 00:00 AI Sign Language for Deaf Viewers 00:41 Early Inspiration for Better Cargo Straps 02:36 Childhood Prototypes Reveal Market Gap 04:10 COVID Motivation to Launch Business 07:04 Inventor Licensing Pitfalls and DIY Sales 09:48 Prototyping, Sampling, and First Customers 11:52 Designing the Spring-Loaded Torque Strap 14:06 How Torque Straps Work and Their Benefits 22:48 Creative Branding Ideas for Torque Straps 24:05 Facing Competition and Patent Infringement 27:33 Defending the Product Against Patent Claims 28:12 Commitment to Quality and Customer Support 29:10 Competing with Copycats and Maintaining Reputation 30:05 Encouraging Ethical Purchasing 30:58 Patent Vulnerabilities and Enforcement Challenges 35:53 Introducing the Invent With Me Podcast 37:17 Calculating Load Ratings and Strap Sizing 44:28 All-Weather Durability and Maintenance 45:30 Spring Longevity and Packaging Options 47:02 Pricing Packs and Managing Expectations 48:04 Customizing Strap Lengths for Use 49:01 Strap Longevity and Care Guidelines 50:50 Subscription Idea Mentioned 51:04 Social Media Presence and Promotion 54:35 Upcoming Marketing Focus for Torque Strap 56:09 Shift from Engineering to Marketing 56:40 Humorous Product Concepts and April Fools 57:08 Closing Remarks and Podcast Promotion 57:42 Final Thoughts and Gratitude **Key takeaways** - Just pull—spring tension adapts to load shift or compression so you rarely (or never) have to stop and re-tighten. - Continuous polyester strap carries the actual load rating; the spring is the adaptive element with a limiter. - Three models cover light-to-heavy needs, including a 2" Pro with ratchet for vehicles and heavier cargo. - Lifetime warranty when treated with respect; average "cheap strap" life is ~2 years because people leave them in the bed. - Best protection in business isn't always the patent—it's being the guy who answers the phone, honors the warranty, and shows up every day.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 491. https://youtu.be/lfjpoKCWBDA I've known Paul Cwik, Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Mount Olive and fellow of the Mises Institute since I started attending the Austrian Scholars Conference in 1995. He is an Austrian and libertarian of sorts but had some qualms with my anti-IP writing so presented a paper "Is There Room for Intellectual Property Rights in Austrian Economics?" at the Austrian Scholars Conference in 2008, which I attended and commented on. After 18 years we finally decided to get around to talking about this. I had planned on an hour but we ended up talking for 3. It turns out we were old friends but not that close; we didn't know much about each other. So the first 30-50 minutes or so is more preliminary discussion. To his credit, he read a good deal of the huge deluge of material I sent to read up on and asked many very good questions. He did not engage in intentional equivocation that is characteristic of many on the pro-IP side, and he was reasonable in conceding many of my points and was willing to ponder my push back. I was hoping to get him to see the light, since I have in person seen many people change their minds on IP after a long discussion but have never had it happen while recording. We did not resolve the issue, partly because we just didn't have enough time to keep going, but I think we made some progress. Maybe we will have a Part 2 later. Who knows. For now, some relevant links pertaining to some of the topics discussed. I will organize this better later. (Not to be confused with Bryan Cwik, who also has opinions on IP: “Good Ideas is Pretty Scarce”; Bryan Cwik, "Property Rights in Non‐rival Goods" (2, 3, 4); "Labor as the Basis for Intellectual Property Rights" (2; 3); Gamrot, Labor as the Basis for Intellectual Property Rights: Against Cwik.)

Locke correctly argued that the first person to “mix his labor with” an unowned resource owns it, since he thereby establishes an objective link to the resource which gives him a better claim to it than latecomers.[55] However, Locke based his argument on the confused and unnecessary idea that a person “owns” his labor and “therefore” owns resources that he mixes it with. But labor is not owned—it is an action, something a person performs with his body, which he does own—and this assumption is not needed for the Lockean labor-mixture argument to work.[56] This mistaken notion leads some people to favor IP because they figure that if you own a scarce resource because you mix your labor with it, you also own useful ideas that are produced with your labor. The related Smith-Ricardo-Marx labor theory of value, which underlies Marxism and socialism, is also sometimes used to support IP, as when people argue that if you work or labor, you “deserve” some kind of reward or profit. All this focus on labor must be rejected as overly metaphorical and confused, and, frankly, Marxian.[57]" On Libertarian Legal Theory, Self-Ownership and Drug Laws: p. 632 Libertarianism After Fifty Years: What Have We Learned?, p. 687 Creationism: Libertarian and Lockean Creationism: Creation As a Source of Wealth, not Property Right Libertarian Creationism KOL012 | “The Intellectual Property Quagmire, or, The Perils of Libertarian Creationism,” Austrian Scholars Conference 2008 KOL037 | Locke's Big Mistake: How the Labor Theory of Property Ruined Political Theory Part III.C.2 C.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of compelling stories that highlight the intricate interplay of scientific innovation, regulatory dynamics, and strategic maneuvers shaping the industry.Starting with Moderna, the company has reached a pivotal resolution in a long-standing patent dispute involving its mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax. This settlement involves a hefty $950 million payout to Genevant Sciences and Arbutus Biopharma, resolving claims of patent infringements. This agreement underscores the complex nature of intellectual property in the rapidly evolving mRNA landscape. Securing patent rights is crucial as new vaccines and therapies are developed, and this resolution not only clears a legal hurdle for Moderna but also exemplifies the industry trend towards resolving such disputes to foster continuous innovation.Sanofi has embarked on a significant strategic move by entering a $1.53 billion global licensing deal with Sino Biopharmaceutical. This agreement secures rights to a first-in-class JAK/ROCK inhibitor, which shows promise in treating hematological and immunological conditions. Such collaborations reflect the increasing focus on innovative therapies that target complex biological pathways, highlighting how companies are seeking unique assets to bolster their competitive edge.Regulatory scrutiny continues to be a formidable theme in the industry. The FDA has intensified its oversight on compounded GLP-1 drugs, issuing 30 warning letters to telehealth companies marketing unauthorized versions. This action highlights the agency's commitment to ensuring drug safety and efficacy while emphasizing the challenges companies face in navigating regulatory landscapes for compounded medications. Additionally, Novo Nordisk has been cautioned by the FDA regarding advertising practices for GLP-1 receptor agonists, illustrating the ongoing regulatory focus on pharmaceutical marketing strategies and compliance standards.Meanwhile, Bayer is experiencing a period of resilience in its pharmaceutical division, driven largely by its cancer drug Nubeqa and cardiovascular agent Kerendia. Despite these successes, Bayer faces challenges as revenues from older drugs like Xarelto and Eylea decline. This scenario reflects a broader industry challenge where companies must innovate while managing mature product lines facing generic competition.Teva Pharmaceuticals is making strategic strides by securing a $400 million deal with Blackstone to develop an anti-TL1A antibody for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in partnership with Sanofi. This investment highlights continued interest in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions as lucrative targets for novel therapies. Financial partnerships like Teva's substantial agreement with Blackstone illustrate how such collaborations can support sustained R&D efforts in chronic disease management.Technological integration into healthcare is expanding rapidly, with Nvidia collaborating with Droplet Biosciences to explore AI applications in medtech and cancer research. These partnerships illustrate an industry shift towards leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance diagnostic capabilities and accelerate research efforts. Moreover, collaborations leveraging AI/ML technologies across drug discovery pipelines are gaining traction; Earendil Labs partnering with WuXi XDC exemplifies this trend alongside Merck & Co.'s multi-year AI oncology data deal with Tempus—enhancing precision medicine capabilities while expediting therapeutic discoveries.In terms of funding new therapeutic areas, ARPA-H has announced a $158 million initiative aimed at developing medicines targeting the lymphatic system. This marks an exploration into less charted territories within physiological research that could yield transforSupport the show

This Day in Legal History: US Capitol OpensOn November 17, 1800, the United States Congress convened for the first time in the new Capitol building in Washington, D.C., marking a foundational moment in American legal and political history. The relocation came after a decade of Congress meeting in temporary quarters, most recently in Philadelphia, as the young republic grappled with questions of permanence and national identity. Washington, D.C. had been selected as the capital through the Residence Act of 1790, a political compromise that helped balance regional power between North and South. By 1800, the city remained largely undeveloped, and the Capitol itself was still under construction—only the north wing was usable.Despite its incomplete state, the Capitol's occupation by Congress signaled the institutional maturity of the federal government. It gave physical shape to the separation of powers by housing the legislative branch in its own dedicated space, distinct from the executive and judiciary. This move also underscored the federal character of the American system, establishing a neutral location not belonging to any one state. John Adams, still president at the time, had moved into the President's House (now the White House) just weeks earlier, completing the federal trifecta.The decision to proceed with the session in an unfinished building reflected a commitment to constitutional governance and the rule of law, even in the face of logistical and environmental hardships. Lawmakers contended with the muddy streets and sparse accommodations of the nascent city, yet their presence inaugurated what would become one of the most symbolically and functionally important legislative chambers in the world. This moment laid the groundwork for Washington, D.C. to become not only the seat of American government but a focal point for legal development, political conflict, and democratic debate for centuries to come.More than 500 lawsuits alleging that Tylenol use during pregnancy causes autism in children may be revived, as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit prepares to hear arguments from plaintiffs challenging a 2024 dismissal of their cases. A lower court had rejected the claims after finding that the plaintiffs' expert testimony lacked scientific rigor, a conclusion supported by Tylenol maker Kenvue. The plaintiffs argue the judge mischaracterized their experts' findings and are citing public support from President Trump and health officials, who linked autism to Tylenol use during a September 2025 press conference.Scientific consensus continues to hold that no definitive link exists between acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) and autism, a position echoed by Kenvue. The company is also facing a separate suit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who accuses Kenvue of concealing risks to children, though a Texas judge recently denied Paxton's efforts to halt a $398 million shareholder dividend and restrict Tylenol marketing. Meanwhile, it remains uncertain whether the appeal will impact Kimberly-Clark's pending $40 billion acquisition of Kenvue, though both companies have indicated that litigation over autism claims won't derail the deal.US appeals court to weigh reviving cases over Tylenol and autism | ReutersGupta Wessler, a boutique appellate firm in Washington, D.C., known for its U.S. Supreme Court advocacy on behalf of plaintiffs, has hired Matthew Guarnieri, a former assistant to the U.S. solicitor general. Guarnieri argued 13 Supreme Court cases under both the Biden and Trump administrations and is the first attorney to leave the solicitor general's office for a firm that exclusively handles plaintiff-side appellate work. His move reflects a growing recognition of Gupta Wessler's nontraditional model, which competes with corporate-heavy appellate practices at larger firms.Guarnieri becomes the fifth principal at the 18-lawyer firm, which is currently involved in high-profile litigation, including representing Consumer Financial Protection Bureau employees challenging President Trump's mass firings and securing a $185 million verdict against Monsanto over chemical contamination. The firm also represents Uber passengers alleging sexual assault and recently blocked an attempt in Nevada to limit contingency fees in civil cases. Guarnieri left the DOJ in October after nine years of service; the department declined to comment on his departure.DC appellate firm picks up departing DOJ Supreme Court advocate | ReutersA federal jury in California has ordered Apple to pay $634 million to Masimo, a medical technology company, for infringing a patent related to blood-oxygen monitoring used in Apple Watches. The jury found that specific features like workout mode and heart rate notifications violated Masimo's patent rights. Apple has announced plans to appeal, arguing that the patent in question, which expired in 2022, covers outdated technology and that most of Masimo's other patent claims have been invalidated.This verdict is part of a broader legal conflict between Apple and Masimo, which accuses Apple of poaching employees and misappropriating pulse oximetry technology. In 2023, the U.S. International Trade Commission imposed an import ban on certain Apple Watch models, prompting Apple to remove the disputed feature and later reintroduce it with customs approval. A new ITC review is now underway to determine if the updated models should also be banned. The legal fight spans several courts and includes ongoing challenges from both companies over import restrictions and intellectual property claims.US jury says Apple must pay Masimo $634 million in smartwatch patent case | Reuters This is a public episode.

Did you know you could be infringing a patent just by importing a product into your business—even if you're not selling it?In this episode of Legal Tips for Business Owners, I break down what patents actually protect, how infringement works, and why simply using an imported product in your business could land you in legal hot water.Here's what I cover:What a patent is – and how it protects the way something works or is made (not just how it looks).Why importing can infringe – even if you're only using the product inside your business.What really matters – the claims of the patent, not what the product looks like.Real-world stories – clients who were shocked to find themselves sued for patent infringement after importing equipment for their own use.What you can do – from quick Google Patents searches to seeking expert IP advice before you import.If you're thinking about importing products for your business, make sure you understand the risks. A little due diligence now can save you from a costly lawsuit later.Need tailored advice? Get in touch with me to make sure your business is protected.

The beautiful game has transformed into something far more complex than 22 players chasing a ball. Today's football exists as a sophisticated intellectual property ecosystem worth billions, where legal battles off the pitch often carry stakes as high as championship finals.From broadcasting rights that form the financial lifeblood of leagues worldwide to domain name disputes protecting women's tournaments, this episode takes you behind the scenes of football's invisible legal infrastructure. We explore landmark cases including Spain's €31.6 million judgment against streaming platform Roja Directa, the surprising $40 million award to the inventors of referee's vanishing spray, and Manchester United's curious lawsuit against Football Manager for using their name but not their logo.The player perspective receives special attention through cases involving Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo's fights to control their own names as valuable commercial assets. We also examine Project Red Card's groundbreaking challenge to the uncompensated commercialization of player performance data – potentially reshaping how personal statistics are treated across all sports.Whether you're fascinated by sports business, intellectual property, or simply curious about the legal machinery powering the world's favorite sport, this episode delivers five essential takeaways that extend far beyond football. Discover why exclusivity isn't about ego but economics, how small innovations can yield massive legal victories, and why your name is only truly yours if you claim it through proper legal channels.

It was episode 25, way back in January 2020, when Tim last joined us to talk about Athalonz. A lot has changed with the shoe company based in the Phoenix Valley. After they did a fantastic job getting their shoes into the hands of some of the best athletes on the planet, when it comes to the Champions Tour and Long Drive competitions, a little thing called Covid happened. There were a lot of small brands, like Athalonz, that didn't make it through Covid. But as a smaller, direct-to-consumer shoe company with some outstanding tech, they were able to weather the storm.Several years later, they've launched a new shoe, the Mana Mangrove Pro, and have a second version of their successful EnVe line coming.But that might not be the most significant news regarding Athalonz.  Some of you might not know that Tim Markison is a successful, no, VERY successful Patent Attorney with hundreds of patents. Many of which are involved with Athalonz. And one of the major brands in the shoe business is using their patented technology in their shoes. This was incredibly interesting, and we are eager to hear the outcome of the litigation when it starts in March. We'll be sure to have Tim back on after the ruling so he can tell us more about it.If you enjoy learning about smaller brands and how they are doing their part to bring advancements to the tech we use to play golf, this will be a great listen. We want to thank Tim for taking the time out of his busy schedule to chat with us about what's new with Athalonz, and we're looking forward to seeing what they accomplish with their new shoes in 2024.Links for the Episode:Athalonz: https://www.athalonz.com/Athalonz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/athalonz/Athalonz on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/athalonz/Bernhard Langer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_LangerIf you haven't checked out our NEW YouTube channel, please do and hit that Subscribe Button for us!

We have an interesting this day in legal history entry for today, on this day, May 16, in 1868 President Andrew Johnson was acquitted in his impeachment trial. President Johnson was Abraham Lincoln's running mate in the 1864 election and was a sop to the south – prior to sharing a ticket Lincoln had never met him. After the Civil War, President Johnson clashed with Congress over the reconstruction of the South. He vetoed legislation aimed at protecting the rights of former slaves, leading to tension and disagreement with his own party. In 1868, the House of Representatives impeached Johnson, accusing him of violating the Tenure of Office Act by removing the Secretary of War. The trial then began in the Senate, where Republicans held the majority, but Johnson was acquitted because not enough senators supported his removal. Johnson's presidency was marked by his opposition to political rights for freedmen and his lenient reconstruction policies. He served out his term but faced significant opposition from Congress. Johnson later returned to the Senate, serving for 3 months before dying in 1875. He is frequently ranked by historians as among the worst American Presidents, with his predecessor Abraham Lincoln typically taking the top spot. Those are difficult shoes to fill, I suppose. All the same, not a great guy. Wells Fargo has agreed to pay $1 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by shareholders. The lawsuit accused the bank of making misleading statements regarding its compliance with federal consent orders after the 2016 scandal involving unauthorized customer accounts. Shareholders alleged that former CEO Tim Sloan and other executives provided misleading information to Congress, investors, and the media, painting a more positive picture of their interactions with regulators than was accurate. The settlement funds will be distributed to investors who purchased Wells Fargo stock between February 2, 2018, and March 12, 2020. This settlement follows previous settlements related to the bank's fake-accounts scandal in 2016 and a shareholder settlement in 2018. In 2020, Wells Fargo agreed to pay $3 billion to settle US investigations into consumer abuses.Wells Fargo to Pay $1 Billion in Class-Action Lawsuit (1)Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) removed a disclosure metric called economic value of equity (EVE) from its year-end 2022 financial statement, just two weeks before the bank's collapse in March 2023. For the past decade, SVB had provided this metric to demonstrate how interest rate fluctuations would impact its financial health. The removal of EVE, which was expected to show a bleak picture of the bank's situation amid rising rates and depositors withdrawing funds, raises questions about the role of the bank's auditor, KPMG LLP. The financial statement offers no explanation for the removal, and KPMG has not commented on the disclosure changes. Auditors are expected to question significant changes in disclosures and raise concerns when necessary. The omission of EVE, which could have served as a warning sign of growing risks associated with the bank's long-term assets, has drawn attention to the auditor's responsibilities in reviewing management sections of financial statements. Auditors primarily focus on the audited financial statement but are expected to review the management section for inconsistencies and misleading information. However, auditors have limited authority to demand disclosures or address forward-looking risk scenarios. The discretion given to reporting entities allows them to withhold important information from financial statement users.Regular consumers of Minimum Competence will remember our reporting on the recent collapses of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and the near miss at First Republic Bank and the raised concerns about the role of Big Four accounting firms in these failures. KPMG, in particular, had signed off on the financial statements of these banks, leading to questions about the effectiveness and reliability of audits. The problem lies in the close relationships between accounting firms and the banks they audit, potentially leading to conflicts of interest and a lack of incentive to disclose potential problems. To address this, auditors should be held liable for failing to draw attention to aspects of financial statements that require caution, and firms should be banned from both consulting and auditing the same client to avoid conflicts of interest.SVB Quietly Deleted Rate-Risk Metric as Auditor KPMG Stayed MumBig Four Auditors and Consultants Need Liability—And a DivorceThe U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is expected to file a lawsuit to block Amgen Inc.'s $27.8 billion acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics PLC, according to a source. Amgen had entered into the deal last year to enhance its rare diseases drugs portfolio and aimed to complete the acquisition in the first half of this year. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a critic of corporate consolidation, had expressed concerns about the deal and pharmaceutical price increases. The FTC's move to sue is uncommon, as it typically requires divestments rather than blocking deals in the pharmaceutical industry. The acquisition would provide Amgen with two fast-growing drugs, Tepezza and Krystexxa, which have orphan drug designations.FTC to block Amgen's $27.8 billion deal for Horizon Therapeutics - source | ReutersElon Musk's attempt to modify or terminate his 2018 securities fraud settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been rejected by a federal appeals court. The court upheld the requirement for a Tesla lawyer to approve some of Musk's tweets in advance as part of the settlement. Musk's settlement stemmed from an SEC lawsuit accusing him of defrauding investors with a tweet about taking Tesla private. His lawyers argued that the pre-approval mandate amounted to an illegal restriction on his free speech rights. However, the court panel determined that the SEC's inquiries into Musk's subsequent tweets were appropriate and that complying with the consent decree was not overly burdensome for Musk. The decision affirms a ruling made by a U.S. District Judge in 2022. Musk's lawyers plan to seek further review of the decision.Elon Musk loses bid to end SEC 'muzzle' over tweets | ReutersMotion Offense LLC, a patent monetization company, has claimed that Dropbox Inc. owes it $35 million for alleged patent infringement in a federal trial in Waco, Texas. Motion Offense alleges that Dropbox used ideas developed by inventor Robert Paul Morris to enhance file-sharing capabilities, which were similar to Morris' inventions from 2012. Dropbox's attorney countered by stating that the company had already developed the features in question at least three years before Morris began the patent application process. The two sides also disputed the timing of Morris' conception of the patented ideas. Dropbox did not present a damages estimate, while Motion Offense argued for approximately $35 million in compensation. This litigation is part of a broader patent dispute involving Dropbox and other companies.Dropbox, Motion Offense Square Off in ‘Smart Sync' Tech TrialElon Musk has been issued a subpoena by the US Virgin Islands (USVI) in its lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase & Co., accusing the bank of knowingly benefiting from Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking activities. The USVI believes that Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer Musk to JPMorgan as a client. Other billionaires, including Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have also received subpoenas in this case. The USVI has requested alternative means of serving the subpoena on Musk, as it has been unable to locate his address despite efforts, and is seeking documents related to communications or meetings between Musk, JPMorgan, and Epstein, as well as any information regarding Epstein's involvement in human trafficking and fees paid by Musk to Epstein or JPMorgan.Elon Musk Was Issued Subpoena in JPMorgan Epstein Suit (3)Elon Musk documents subpoenaed in Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit by US Virgin Islands | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

The Federal Circuit gave us a new case on pleading standards. While it provides some clarity and some definite warnings, does it provide any clarity? Or does it simply give judges the same discretion that they always had? SPEAKERS Wayne Stacy, Henry Huang Wayne Stacy 00:00 Welcome, everyone to the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology's expert series podcast. This is the first of 2022. I'm the Executive Director of BCLT and your host, Wayne Stacy. And today we're here to talk about patent pleading forms. So 10 years ago, pleading forms for patent infringement, we're an incredibly hot topic. Nearly every case involves someone filing a motion for insufficient pleadings. But that issue cooled off, and people really stopped talking about it. But for anyone practicing in the Northern District of California, you knew that judge also hadn't forgotten about pleading forms, and he never stopped talking about it. So it's no surprise that a case from his court made it to the Federal Circuit, and is providing us with some fresh guidance on this old topic. So here to guide us through the discussion today. And the decision and its aftermath is Henry Huang from White and Case. So Henry, thank you for joining us today. Henry Huang 01:01 Thanks, Wayne, and Happy New Year to you and to everyone as well. And as he said, This is an interesting topic. And I think roughly today, we wanted to sort of go through the pot and made versus Sony decision, as you mentioned, when they came out in July of last year, the first talk a little bit about the background, patent infringement pleading standards and the forms, as we just alluded to go through the case itself and some of the highlights of the Federal Circuit's decision. And then since it's been about six months, look at what some district courts have done in patent cases in terms of citing and applying bottom maids and how they've dealt with motions to dismiss patent claims. Since then. Wayne Stacy 01:41 Well, and for anybody that doesn't think it's relevant. Judge Albright out of Waco issued an opinion, just I guess, yesterday, on this this issue, so it's, it's a hot topic? Henry Huang 01:56 Yes, definitely. And we'll touch a little bit on that, then the decision that just that just came out as well. So if I may, I think I'll start a little bit with some of the background as you were talking about weighing from about a decade or a decade and a half ago, at some of the prior pleading standards for patent infringement plans. So this all goes to the basic question of how much do you need to plead in your complaint in district court to get a claim for patent infringement, and avoid dismissal under Rule 12 B six. So that leads to a lot of other sort of individual sub questions such as whether you need to plead all elements of a claim? Well, you need to identify all your dependent clans as well. And then also different standards for indirect infringement claims or doctrine of equivalents. So by way of background, and some of the more senior audience members recall, there used to be rules in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that talk specifically about how you could plead a sufficient plan for various causes of action. So there used to be rule 84 in the federal rules, which said that the forms in the appendix suffice under these rules and illustrate the simplicity and brevity that these rules contemplate. And that was referring, of course, to the appendix, which did have a series of forms for different causes of action, one of which was an infringement. And so that takes us to what used to be for meeting and also previously form 16. And that appendix for the federal rules. So since it's a

In this episode, IP litigation partners Mark Rowland and Andrew Radsch, and associates Daniel Richards and James Mack, discuss patent infringement under section 271(g) of the Patent Act, a frequently overlooked but powerful provision. The team explores the statutory exceptions to liability, the availability of burden-shifting when proving infringement, and unique damages limitations for claims under section 271(g).

Various products are subject to systems (e.g., purchase agreements) under which product purchasers and third parties are prevented from repairing the products and the only way to repair the product is to proceed through an authorized vendor or the original manufacturer. Manufacturers often favor such systems, as the systems (1) allow the manufacturers to obtain additional revenue through their own repair services, (2) prevent consumers and third-parties from accessing trade secrets that are contained within the products; and (3) prevent consumers from injuring themselves during repairs of complex products. Consumers are sometimes concerned with such systems, as the systems can limit consumer options to repair the devices and could lead to increased waste, as consumers may elect to purchase new products instead of committing to a lengthy and expensive repair process to fix an existing product. This issue has been getting some traction around the country, as several states have passed (or are reviewing) legislation related to providing purchasers with a “right to repair” products that they may purchase. In addition to its coverage in the legal news, “right to repair” was recently mentioned on CBS News.

In this edition of The End Of The Line podcast, Bill and I are joined by Jeff Foiles for part fourteen of "Redemption." Today, in the beginning, we visit about how Jeff could be the northern most coonass alive. Then, we talk about the details of a patent battle that Jeff has to make during the middle of his court battles in the US and Canada. Finally, what happened in Canada? Did Jeff get bad advice on how to settle his Canada charges? As he settles those charges in Canada, a weight would usually be lifted, but a bigger battle waited on Jeff on him at home.
