On October 7, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order list that included cert denials for several intellectual property cases that were presented to the nation’s highest court. In rendering those denials, the Supreme Court leaves in place an appellate ruling invalidating patents claiming improvements to computer networking technologies under Section 101’s abstract idea jurisprudence. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requirements on listing domicile addresses on trademark applications, and the Federal Circuit’s application of obviousness double-type patenting doctrine in the patent term adjustment context, were also allowed to stand due to these denials.
