VPATAPP Alerts_Patent Case Management Judicial Guide_Freely available

VPATAPP Alerts

This treatise updates and expands upon the second edition of the Patent Case Management Judicial Guide (2012). Since that time, patent litigation has continued to increase in complexity. This edition encompasses implementation of the America Invents Act (“AIA”), the emergence of review proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), the Supreme Court’s many recent patent decisions (patent eligibility, claim construction, claim indefiniteness, infringement analysis (rejecting “joint infringement”), the intent requirement for induced infringement liability (rejecting a defense of good faith belief of a patent’s invalidity), and attorney fees), and the Federal Circuit’s damages jurisprudence (including damage awards for standard essential patents (SEP) licensed pursuant to fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory (FRAND) terms. It also includes case management checklists, model case management orders, and other materials developed by district judges and advisory bodies for streamlining patent case management. Finally, this volume adds a chapter on patent litigation at the Court of Federal Claims.

VPATAPP Alerts_IPOS adopts stricter criteria for post-grant amendments_Singapore updates

On 30 June 2016, the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS) issued a Circular with updated guidelines for the assessment of post-grant patent amendments.

Specifically, under the updated guidelines, post-grant amendments may not be allowed if:

1. the patentee failed to make full disclosure of all relevant matters in relation to the proposed amendments;
2. there was an unreasonable delay on the part of the patentee in seeking the amendments; or
3. the patentee obtained an unfair advantage by delaying the amendments which the patentee knew to be needed.
