There hasn’t been much activity in Congress this week since the Innovation Act passed the House last week, but there will be a hearing next Tuesday December 17 in the Senate on “Protecting Small Businesses and Promoting Innovation by Limiting Patent Troll Abuse.”
In other news, last Friday, the Supreme Court granted cert in CLS Bank v. Alice. We’ve previously covered this case several times, such as Matt’s post on the Federal Circuit’s fractured opinion.
And we will be filing comments with the FTC next Monday December 16 on its 6b study on patent assertion.
