UNIVERSITY'S SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY CLAIM CAN'T SAVE PATENTS, TECH FIRMS SAY

摘要

Several technology firms challenging the validity of some of the University of Minnesota's patents are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject sovereign immunity as a shield for state actors in patent review proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. See Regents of the University of Minnesota v. LSI Corp. et al., No. 19-337, opposition briefs filed, 2019 WL 6681657, 2019 WL 6715375 and 2019 WL 6715377 (U.S. Dec. 5, 2019).
