Case Law Review: Volume 11, No. 6
Hauptman Ham’s June 2025 Case Law Review examines three significant intellectual property decisions involving patent eligibility, inter partes review procedure, and patent damages. This issue highlights the Federal Circuit’s ruling that applying established machine learning methods to a new data environment is not enough to establish patent eligibility, the PTAB Director’s guidance on explaining examiner error when relying on previously submitted prior art, and the evidentiary standards required for expert royalty opinions based on lump-sum licenses.
