Federal Circuit Backs PayPal

In December 2022, Winston convinced Judge Albright of the W.D. Tex. to reverse his tentative construction and invalidate four patents based on means-plus-function indefiniteness at claim construction in the district court. Winston also persuaded Judge Albright to deny Fintiv’s motion for reconsideration the next month. Fintiv appealed to the Federal Circuit, which affirmed the district court in a precedential opinion in April 2025. Winston overcame a significant amount of sleight of hand from Fintiv, which continually shifted the purported structure of the “payment handler” term through claim construction, its motion for reconsideration, and appellate briefs, muddying the record. Ultimately the opinion clearly distinguished the factual record from that in Dyfan v. Target, curbing patentees abilities to argue that all code or applications are a “class of structures” and not indefinite under 112(f). The Federal Circuit affirmed four of the five patents Winston invalidated for PayPal, effectively foreclosing Fintiv’s ability to revive these patents for assertion. Winston also invalidated the fifth patent at the PTAB; Fintiv’s appeal of that Final Written Decision is pending....Read more

SEC Eases Timing Requirements for Broker Searches

On January 23, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published a new compliance and disclosure interpretation in Question 133.02 that provides public companies with greater flexibility to condense the broker searches in connection with their stockholder meetings. Under this new interpretation, registrants may conduct the broker search less than 20 business days before the record date for the meeting, so long as the company reasonably believes that proxy materials will be disseminated to beneficial owners on time and otherwise complies with Rule 14a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).

What Is Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)?

Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is a database of information that’s shared and duplicated across a network of computers in different locations. In contrast to a centralized ledger, it’s a flexible system of recording information. The information on the ledger, or record, is updated by those participating in the network, rather than by a central authority. The ledger can be accessible to some or all users, and the information stored on it can be verified and audited. Peer-to-peer transfers that have value can be recorded on a DLT. The value transferred could be money, securities, or even personal information....Read more
