Supreme Court on Patent Law 2013 - Patent Law Blog (Patently-O)

The Supreme Court is scheduled to decide four intellectual property cases this term:

  • Bowman v. Monsanto (patent exhaustion in second generation of GM seeds)
  • Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (international copyright exhaustion)
  • Already, LLC v. Nike, Inc. (impact of limited covenant-not-to-sue on declaratory judgment jurisdiction in trademark law)
  • Gunn v. Minton (whether legal malpractice claims arising out of representation in a patent dispute should be heard by the Federal Circuit)

There are several more pending petitions for certiorari. The most notable of these is Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) v. Myriad Genetics (patentability of isolated but naturally occurring human DNA). A second important pending petition is Retractable Technologies, Inc. v. Becton, Dickinson and Co. (de novo review of claim construction). More than a dozen other petitions have been filed or are likely within the next two months.
