The EU General Court dismissed Amazon's challenge to its designation as a "very large online platform" under the Digital Services Act. An IFI CLAIMS study finds 99 companies in the S&P 100 own patents, highlighting widespread corporate patent holdings. The Inventors Defense Alliance told the House Judiciary Committee that the Litigation Transparency Act would weaken legal protections for small patent-owning companies. China's Ministry of Commerce vowed strong action against USPTO transparency rules affecting foreign applicants. Judge Boasberg ruled the FTC failed to show Meta obtained monopoly power from acquiring Instagram and WhatsApp. The USPTO announced a patent quality initiative targeting examination areas with high statistical deviation. Jamie Rogozinski filed a petition seeking recognition of WALLSTREETBETS trademark rights for the r/wallstreetbets subreddit.
