The July 2025 decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Epic Games v. Google marks a landmark development in the ongoing evolution of antitrust remedies for unilateral conduct in the technology sector.

USPTO Tightens IPR Petition Requirements

On July 31, 2025, the USPTO issued a memorandum announcing that, starting from September 1, 2025, it will interpret its own rule 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(4) as limiting the IPR grounds that can be brought before the Office.
