Brett Johnson Discusses Federal Circuit’s PTAB Review Decisions with Law360

Winston & Strawn partner Brett Johnson was quoted in a Law360 article examining the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s recent decisions declining to review the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office director’s discretionary denials of inter partes review (IPR) and post-grant review (PGR) petitions. Companies have filed constitutional arguments at the Federal Circuit challenging the high and evolving threshold for having an inter partes or post-grant review instituted, which has led to an unprecedented level of denied petitions. The companies had hoped to fit into a narrow exception to the America Invents Act that allows appeals for unconstitutional “shenanigans,” but the Federal Circuit has rejected all of the mandamus petitions since November....Read more

What Are Baby HSR Laws?

“Baby HSR” or “mini HSR” laws refer to state-level premerger notification and reporting requirements that resemble the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Act but tend to apply to smaller transactions valued below the federal notification thresholds. These laws, often focused on specific industries like healthcare, aim to enhance state-level antitrust oversight by requiring companies to notify state authorities of mergers or acquisitions that could impact local competition. Filing obligations, timing, and fees vary by state, with some requiring detailed disclosures about the transaction’s competitive impact within the state. State authorities can investigate, challenge, or impose conditions on transactions even if they are cleared federally. Winston’s Baby HSR survey provides buyers and sellers with a resource to quickly start assessing which states may have premerger notification requirements that impact their transactions....Read more
