ADVERTISEMENT USPTO Says Patent Owners Are Jumping The Gun On Arthrex Law360 (July 21, 2021, 7:12 PM EDT) The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office told the Federal Circuit on Wednesday that it s too soon for two patent owners to challenge the agency s plans to have its acting director review rulings following the Arthrex decision, and they should wait until remanded proceedings at the agency are complete. The office shot back against an argument from card game developer New Vision Gaming & Development Inc. and patent licensing business Mobility Workx LLC that the agency s commissioner for patents, Drew Hirshfeld, can t conduct reviews required under the U.S. Supreme Court s Arthrex ruling. ....
To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog: Patent licenses, technology transfer agreements, and non-disclosure agreements often include forum selection clauses as a matter of course, and sometimes include an arbitration clause requiring private arbitration of disputes. Petitioners and patent owners both will want to know: Can these clauses preclude a challenge at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB)? The federal district courts routinely enforce the parties’ selected forum in patent lawsuits. The PTAB, however, has been reluctant to do so for inter partes and post-grant review proceedings. The Federal Circuit has not yet ruled on whether the PTAB must directly consider and enforce forum selection clauses. Patent owners seeking to avoid the PTAB may have recourse through the district courts, but results on this path are uncertain. Petitioners have frequently been successful in maintaining challenges at the PTAB, despite prior agreements that include ....
New Vision s arguments were unavailing, however, as the Federal Circuit avoided the issue entirely, ruling last week that the Board s decision be vacated and the case remanded for hearing before a constitutionally properly appointed panel. The basis for this decision is that New Vision had not waived its challenge under Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, now under review by the Supreme Court. The Federal Circuit s opinion was written by Judge Moore joined by Judge Taranto and in part by Judge Newman, who also dissented-in-part. It is Judge Newman s dissent that is noteworthy, because Judge Newman believed that the question of whether a contract/license between the parties, designating the District of Nevada as the forum for any dispute, should have precluded the PTAB from asserting jurisdiction (and as a threshold issue might have precluded remand if the PTAB had improperly done so). The PTAB, intervenor in this appeal, maintained that the jurisdiction issue was not pro ....
Earlier this month, in the precedential decision New Vision Gaming & Development, Inc. v. SG Gaming, Inc., FKA Bally Gaming, Inc., the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“the CAFC”) vacated and remanded a decision by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”) on the ground that the decision issued after the CAFC’s Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc. decision (where the CAFC made administrative patent judges of the Board “inferior officers” under the U.S. Appointments Clause). New Vision is appealing two covered-business method review final written decisions in which the Board held all claims of the patents at issue patent ineligible under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The CAFC’s opinion, delivered by Judge Moore, is short and largely unremarkable. What is more interesting, however, is Judge Newman’s dissent. ....
