A precedential Federal Circuit decision reversed an attorney’s fees award and attorney sanctions in an e-banking patent case, affirming dismissal for failure to state a patent infringement claim. The Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act advanced toward enactment. The Court of Justice of the European Union found that a publisher’s right to fair compensation set by EU member states is permissible when it qualifies as consideration for the right to republish. Nokia obtained a stay of UK court rulings in a RAND licensing dispute over video codec patents with Acer and Asus. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued informative designations on Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions applying agency precedent on inconsistent claim construction positions. Cisco announced 4,000 layoffs alongside a reported 12% year-over-year revenue increase, while Congressional Democrats opposed President Trump’s ouster of National Science Board membership. The European General Court found insufficient analysis of links between an ammunition trademark and a famous French comic serial.
