Winston Secures Federal Circuit Victory for Snap Axing Image-Presentation Patents on the Pleadings

Ask Sydney sued Snap along with four large tech companies in the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, asserting infringement of two related patents on methods of generating and presenting images to a user to determine the user’s interest.  Working closely with Snap, Winston successfully moved to transfer the case to the Central District of California, then moved for judgment on the pleadings of patent-ineligibility under § 101 of the Patent Act.  Following a hearing with multiple rounds of argument, the district court granted the motion, adopting Winston’s arguments that distinguished findings by the patent examiner during prosecution and by the Western District of Texas, which had denied § 101 motions brought by two other defendants.  Ask Sydney appealed, but the Federal Circuit summarily affirmed three days after oral argument, handing Snap a decisive win invalidating all claims of both asserted patents. Eimeric Reig led the strategy and argued the appeal and motion hearing, working with Kathi Vidal and Kelly Hunsaker....Read more

U.S. Department of Labor AMICUS Briefs Support Curbing Wave of ERISA Litigation

An ERISA litigation trend has emerged that would have been unthinkable a few years ago: The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is intervening in court and taking the employer’s side. This trend reflects a deliberate policy shift that matters for every plan sponsor and fiduciary in an environment where “regulation by litigation” has become a default strategy for plaintiffs’ lawyers.

New Executive Order Targets Proxy Advisory Firms: Key ERISA Implications

On December 11, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order (the Order) targeting the two major proxy advisory firms, ISS and Glass Lewis. The Order asserts that these firms often prioritize political agendas, particularly diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives,  over investor returns.  As a result, the Order directed the US Department of Labor (DOL) and other agencies to take certain actions. The resulting DOL action could have significant impact for ERISA plan fiduciaries.
