Government Program Fraud, False Claims Act & Qui Tam Litigation
Investigations and litigation involving alleged fraud against the government pose a significant and growing threat to organizations and individuals across all industries that engage directly or indirectly in business with federal, state, and/or local governments. The government makes aggressive use of its extensive criminal and civil investigatory powers to root out alleged fraud and abuse implicating government funds, including one of its most powerful civil enforcement tools—the federal False Claims Act (FCA)—and similar state false claims statutes.

Winston Secures Federal Circuit Affirmance of 101 Victory for Polycom
Winston secured an appellate victory for Polycom (now part of HP) when the Federal Circuit affirmed a judgment on the pleadings of patent-ineligibility in a lawsuit brought by directPacket Research, Inc. Working closely with HP, Winston argued that all claims of the asserted patent were directed to the abstract idea of translation via an intermediate protocol, with no inventive concept. The Northern District of California agreed, and the Federal Circuit unanimously affirmed, adopting Winston’s arguments. Eimeric Reig argued the appeal, working with HP and the Winston team, including Kathi Vidal, Kelly Hunsaker, Sam Lerner, Matt McCullough, and David Dalke.

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.

Law Glossary
Companies make flavor claims and place them on food labels. When companies list taste claims, they must use the correct terms when describing flavors. The FDA even defines how taste claims and flavor labels are used in marketing. If a flavor is improved or created by the addition of other ingredients, then an explanation of this is required. For example, “cherry” is used to describe a flavor that comes from real cherries. However, “cherry-flavored with other artificial flavors” might be needed if a blend of flavors was used.

The area of nutrition claims law deals with the regulations and violations related to listing the nutrient content of products, as well as making nutrient content claims. Food labeling guidelines are normally handled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FDA does provide rules for those who do the food labeling. A Nutrition Facts label is required on most food packages that have labels. In some cases, food and dietary supplement claims are regulated by law or through the FDA. One area of nutrition claims law involves the class action lawsuits filed by consumers to challenge a label claim.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office refers to a trade secret as a type of intellectual property. This definition of trade secret is in reference to the business ownership of a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process that provides a competitive edge. As a member of the World Trade Organization, the U.S. government has a responsibility to protect trade secrets. The passage of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA) also increased trade secret protection. Under the DTSA, an individual or organization may be found liable in a civil case for the misappropriation of trade secrets.
