SCOTUS Denies Cert in IP Cases Covering JMOL Review Standard, Attorney's Fees, DTSA Claims and More
Briefly

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected several petitions related to intellectual property appeals, including Provisur's challenge against the Federal Circuit's handling of its patent case with Weber. The Federal Circuit had previously overturned PTAB's decisions on obviousness and validated operating manuals as prior art, undermining Provisur's patent claims. Provisur questioned whether the Federal Circuit overstepped by acting as factfinder in its ruling. Despite these legal questions, the Supreme Court declined to intervene, leaving the previous rulings intact as they did not warrant further examination under current standards.
"The Supreme Court's Monday cert denials nixed Provisur's most recent appeal from a Federal Circuit ruling last October that reversed the Western District of Missouri's denial of judgment as a matter of law on noninfringement."
