The Application File Never Really Closes: Implications of Recent Case Law on the Prosecution Record
“The prosecution record does not freeze a patent into the examiner’s preferred reading. But it does become part of the patent’s public boundary.” Patent prosecution is often treated as a sequence of discrete tasks: respond to the office action. Amend the claim. Make the argument. Obtain allowance. Move on. Recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decisions show why that model is incomplete.
The USPTO’s AI Agenda: Examining the Office’s AI Tools and Guidance for Practitioners
“The same changes that ease prosecution today may become contested flashpoints in post-grant proceedings or district court litigation tomorrow.” The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is going through a significant digital transformation. With the Office seemingly updating its procedures as rapidly as the latest AI model, it’s important to track what this means for IP practice.
Navigating the Global SEP Toll Road: From Judicial Arbitrage to the Willingness Test
“Everyone keeps using the technology, but only some actually pay. This leaves the patent owner to chase down the bad actors.” – Matteo Sabattini From left: Shawnna Yashar, Ali Allawi, Matteo Sabattini. Standard essential patents (SEPs) don’t generate controversy because people disagree on whether innovation deserves compensation. The controversy runs deeper: everyone agrees it does, but nobody agrees on how much, when, or through which court.
Is Your AI Investment Actually Paying Off? What Every IP Professional Needs to Know in 2026
“The era of adopting tools on faith is ending. Practices that cannot articulate what their AI investment has produced are going to find the budget conversation arriving faster than expected.” From left: Francesca Cruz, Bruce Berman, Stephanie Curcio and Bernard Tomsa If 2025 was the year every IP practice rushed to adopt AI, 2026 is the year the bill comes due — and a striking number of organizations are discovering they have no reliable way to read it.
How to Draft AI Patents That Survive the Next Guidance Cycle, and the One After That
“Trying to shoehorn claims to align with the most recent guidance is a recipe for headache.” — Thara Russell, Capital One Since 2024, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued multiple AI?specific guidance documents on inventorship and subject?matter eligibility, including the February 2024 Inventorship Guidance, the July 2024 Subject Matter Eligibility Update, and the November 2025 memo rescinding the February 2024 guidance.
IPWatchdog LIVE 2026: What Big Tech Actually Wants from Your Patent, and What Sends It Straight to the Back Burner
“My time is valuable. I can’t keep going back and forth. Be a bit more serious about what you believe is a reasonable offer.” – Caroline Pinkston, HPE at IPWatchdog LIVE A panel on day three of IPWatchdog LIVE 2026 offered the IP community a candid look at how large operating companies actually evaluate and respond to patent assertions. The answers carry direct implications for every practitioner advising clients on the sell side of a transaction.
IPWatchdog LIVE Panel Asks Whether Patent Licensing Still Works — The Answer Is Complicated
“If you don’t show the willingness and economic ability to litigate, it’s very hard to engage in friendly licensing deals.” – Michael Gulliford From left: Brian O’Shaughnessy, Michael Gulliford, Louis Carbonneau and Dan Kesack A panel on day one of IPWatchdog LIVE 2026 didn’t mince words: the voluntary patent licensing ecosystem is functionally broken, and the IP community needs to understand why.
Challenges of a prehabilitation program for oesophageal cancer patients in the Australian setting
Introduction Patients with oesophageal cancer (OC) considered for surgery typically undergo neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) before oesophagectomy.1 While NAT improves cancer survival compared to surgery alone, these regimens can negatively impact patient fitness and subsequent surgical outcomes.2, 3 Prehabilitation is a preoperative process that aims to improve the functional capacity of patients with exercise, nutrition and psychological interventions, helping patients endure surgical stress and...
Frontend Code from a Backend Perspective
I don't call myself a frontend developer. To be clear, I know how to do frontend work. I'm trying to keep myself up-to-date with all the newest ways to try to more easily put content on the browser in a performant way. I build web applications, so you have to know how to build a user-facing client to call your backend. I would call myself a backend developer. But I definitely wouldn't call myself a frontend developer. People say the frontend is the "easy" work. I don't.
Problem Or Solution? The Differences Between Doing It Right And Wrong On The Jobsite
Working in the corporate audio-visual world is taxing because the job balances multiple factors: clients (or guests), venue operations/banquets/sales, and the AV company. Here’s an example of common problems encountered on a typical job: • The AV company sending only 100-foot XLR cable rather then a variety of lengths. • The client deciding to change the orientation of the room five minutes before the meeting.

Practical Guide to Bezier Curves
This is meant as an intermediate guide to Bezier curves. I'm assuming you've all read about Bezier curves and the Bernstein basis functions and have a general idea about how it all works. This is meant as the next level up and some ways to implement them in practical code. This isn't meant as a thorough exploration of the mathematics, but as a jump-off point.
How President-Elect Donald Trump Could Impact Commercial Real Estate
In a shocking turn of events that neither the polls nor financial markets predicted, Donald Trump will become the 45th president of the United States of America after defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton. His path to victory was an unprecedented one, grabbing crucial battleground states like Florida and Ohio before breaking through the “blue wall” of typically Democratic-leaning states such as Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that were imperative for Clinton’s success.

Drop In Industrial Vacancy To 4.4% Fueling San Diego Spec Development
Extremely tight industrial vacancy in San Diego has triggered a boom in spec development. Industrial vacancy was just 4.4% in Q3 2016, down from 5.2% year-over-year and 48 basis points lower than the previous quarter, while the overall average asking rental rate remained at $1.02/SF for the second consecutive quarter, according to a new report from Colliers International. As a result, new construction project completions in 2016 alone will outpace the previous six years combined.
New Wireless Technology May Speed Up Rollout Of Google Fiber
Earlier this year, Google Fiber acquired San Francisco-based Webpass, which uses point-to-point microwave technology to deliver super-fast internet service to Downtown San Diego multifamily projects and businesses. But Google Fiber has paused rollout of its ultra-fast fiber optic network to consider the new technologies on the horizon that could make the process quicker and more economical, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The West Loop's most visible office development may be underway soon. The city issued a construction permit for Sterling Bay to build McDonald's new HQ on the former Harpo Studios site.

How Amazon’s Video Streaming Is More Of A Threat To Retailers Than Netflix
While Amazon’s focus on video streaming may seem like a blow against Netflix, research suggests it’s actually a bigger threat to retailers. According to a study by Cowen & Co, 66% of Amazon Prime households are also Netflix subscribers and another 10% have access to Netflix, Business Insider reports. Those numbers suggest the video-streaming market has room for a number of services and isn’t a zero-sum game.
