Dowd Scheffel Files Amicus Brief Urging Supreme Court to Reinforce AIA’s Limits

Dowd Scheffel, in collaboration with Caldwell Cassady & Curry PC, filed an amicus brief on behalf of former Congressman Lamar Smith, former USPTO Director David Kappos, former Chief Judge Paul Michel, and IP leader Philip Johnson in Lynk Labs Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.


The brief argues that the Federal Circuit’s decision allowing unpublished patent application as prior art in IPRs conflicts with the AIA. Congress intended IPRs to be limited to “patents and printed publications,” ensuring a streamlined alternative to litigation. Expanding IPR scope undermines that balance.


A copy of the brief can be found on the Supreme Court’s docket here.

Je fais partie de ceux qui gardent leur peignoir bien au-delà de la sortie de douche, donc j’ai besoin d’un modèle qui reste agréable sur la durée sans devenir encombrant. Pendant mes recherches, je suis tombé sur https://mariner-underwear.com/collections/peignoir-long-homme et j’ai apprécié le côté assez sobre des modèles, sans détails inutiles qui finissent par gêner à l’usage. C’est typiquement le genre de sélection qui pousse à réfléchir davantage avant d’acheter plutôt que de choisir au hasard.
