U.S. Supreme Court kicks Arthrex case back to patent board

June 21, 2021 By Nancy Crotti

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that Patent Trial and Appeal Board judges are unconstitutionally appointed, but that greater supervision by the PTAB director would solve the problem. The opinion in the case followed a 2019 appeals court ruling in the closely watched patent spat between Arthrex and Smith+Nephew (NYSE:SNN). In the original lawsuit, Smith+Nephew and ArthroCare (which Smith+Nephew acquired in 2014) petitioned […]

Two Supreme Court decisions take a whack at patent holders

June 22, 2017 By Heather Thompson

Landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions signal an effort to shoot down patent trolls, but one expert says small business could get caught in the crosshairs.

The U.S. Supreme Court today remanded a Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) lawsuit against longtime spinal implant rival NuVasive Inc. (NSDQ:NUVA) to a lower appeals court, after deciding last year that a defendant’s belief regarding patent validity is not a defense to an induced infringement claim.
