Read a post discussing a Director Review decision where the Director deemed a number in a prior art specification to be a typo rather than disclosure that taught away from the claimed invention, and ordered issuance of a new Institution Decision. https://ow.ly/Q6bJ50Thi7N #PTAB #patentlaw #intellectualproperty

SCOTUS's decision in the NetChoice cases was a huge blow to Big Tech's strategy of asking for the broadest possible relief based on the barest of records. Tomorrow, the 9th Cir can check Big Tech in two other poorly supported facial challenges. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e9tUgh5i Over the last few years, Big Tech has asked courts to declare a series of laws entirely invalid under the First Amendment based on little more than vibes. In the process, they have hoped to secure broad constitutional rulings essentially declaring them immune from regulation. In NetChoice v. Bonta, the Big Tech trade org challenged the CA Age-Appropriate Design Code based on sloppy statutory & constitutional interpretation & speculation about the law's application. NetChoice asked for the moon—relief from all data protection regulations—& they got it. In X v. Bonta, X Corp challenged CA's AB 587, which requires social media cos to disclose information about their content moderation practices. X argues the law might be used to jawbone changes to their content moderation—which doesn't come close to justifying facial invalidation. SCOTUS's decision in the NetChoice case decides both of these appeals. The dangerous decision in the NetChoice case should be vacated b/c the judge applied the wrong standard. The decision not to grant X an injunction based on a flimsy record should be affirmed. EPIC filed amicus briefs supporting AG Bonta in both cases. In NetChoice, EPIC distinguished the CAAADC from other state laws that restrict kids' access to social media. (https://lnkd.in/ePJu6hAZ) In X, EPIC explained the importance of transparency laws—& how X's arguments don't support facial invalidation. (https://lnkd.in/e34Vh9-u) We have also written about the dangers & flaws in the district court's decision in NetChoice v. Bonta (https://lnkd.in/eArCTDau)
