The Supreme Court of the United States upheld the validity of doctrine of assignor estoppel but concluded that the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit failed to recognize the boundaries of the doctrine.
Minerva Surgical, Inc. v. Hologic, Inc. Case No. 20-440 (Supr. Ct., June 29, 2021)(Kagan, Justice)(Barrett, Justice, dissenting)(Alito, Justice, dissenting). With the Court’s concern to maintain the underlying principle of fairness and the limits of doctrine of assignor estoppel in
Westinghouse Elec. & Mfg. Co. v. Formica Insulation Co., the Court vacated the Federal Circuit’s decision and remanded. In a 5-4 decision, Justice Elena Kagan delivered the opinion of the Court with dissenting opinions from Justices Samuel Alito and Amy Coney Barrett.
