A Team Co-led by Winston & Strawn Negotiates a Landmark Antitrust Class Action Settlement with the NCAA and Its Power 5 Conferences

Secured, with co-counsel, final approval of an historic settlement of over US$2.75B in back-damages for current and former college-athletes and a new revenue-sharing model allowing schools to share future earnings with athletes. This decade-long effort across four different lawsuits redefines the economics of college sports, affirming athlete rights and fair compensation. Following a 9-0 Supreme Court victory in Alston v. NCAA, the team filed three antitrust class actions, resulting in a groundbreaking settlement that creates a revenue-sharing system projected to generate at least US$20B in new, previously prohibited payments and benefits to Division I college athletes over the next decade. The settlement was recognized in Am Law‘s Litigator of the Week column....Read more

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

Florida’s De-Banking Rules Expansion: How Do the Office of Financial Regulation’s Proposed Rule Changes Impact Financial Institutions?

Winston is closely monitoring de-banking regulations and advising global financial institutions on customer onboarding and due diligence, including, more recently, issues relating to anti-debanking and anti-derisking legislative and regulatory developments. As federal and state governmental scrutiny of debanking practices intensifies, our attorneys are at the forefront, providing our clients with practical, business-focused solutions to help them navigate this complex and rapidly changing environment.

In this alert, Carl Fornaris and Fernanda Legaspe examine the Florida Financial Services Commission’s recent approval of the Florida Office of Financial Regulation’s (OFR) request to publish notices of proposed rulemaking to clarify and implement procedures under Florida House Bill 989 (HB 989). They break down what’s changing, where state and federal requirements may conflict, and concrete steps to shore up governance, documentation, and cross‑functional controls.
Following the Florida Financial Services Commission’s approval of the Florida OFR’s request to publish notices of proposed rulemaking to clarify and implement procedures under Florida’s HB 989, Florida regulators have moved to significantly expand the state’s anti–de-banking framework—reaching who may file a complaint, what can be alleged, and who must certify compliance. The OFR’s proposed rules would require an executive officer to sign the annual attestation, broaden the definition of customer to capture vendors and other business relationships, and heighten expectations around citing suspicious activity as a basis for adverse actions—raising potential tensions with federal suspicious activity report confidentiality.

Law Glossary

What Is the Copyright Royalty Board?

The U.S. Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) is a three-judge panel that functions as an independent unit within the Library of Congress. It performs the duties specified in the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act. The Act established statutory licenses that let approved parties utilize certain types of copyrighted works by paying a set royalty, without having to request an individual copyright license from each rights-holder. The CRB sets, and periodically adjusts, the rates and terms of the statutory licenses, and can also make determinations on the distribution of statutory license royalties collected by the U.S. Copyright Office. For example, the judges can determine, for a five-year period, the rates musical performers receive when their works are played via digital services. When licensors and licensees cannot reach rate agreements on their own, the CRB hears testimony from the various parties and then sets the rates. CRB Judges serve six-year terms. The first CRB judges were appointed by the Librarian of Congress in 2006....Read more
