USPTO will hold a roundtable on the OECD Draft Voluntary Guidelines for E‑Commerce. The Federal Circuit corrected the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's standard for conception in an interference. IFI CLAIMS data shows Google overtook IBM as the leading U.S. patent applicant claiming generative AI inventions. Microsoft agreed to unbundle Office 365 and Microsoft 365 from Teams in response to EU antitrust scrutiny. The UK House of Lords removed a data bill provision requiring AI companies to disclose use of copyrighted content. The European Patent Office issued a study finding a virtuous cycle between standards use in examination and later adoption. A magistrate judge ordered Anthropic to answer allegations of a hallucinated citation.
