Winston & Strawn partner Mike Rueckheim was quoted in a Law360 article discussing the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s recently released answers to frequently asked questions about its new patent challenge denial process for post-grant (IPR/PGR) challenges. The USPTO recently established guidance and a bifurcated briefing process in which the Director, working alongside Patent Trial and Appeal Board judges, will decide whether each petition challenging a patent warrants discretionary denial. The board will consider the merits of the petition’s invalidity arguments only if it is not denied for discretionary reasons.

April 2025 Executive Order Targets Prescription Drug Price Reduction
On April 15, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First.” The subject matter of this executive order criss-crosses considerable policy ground in the overall U.S. pharmaceutical distribution chain. The executive order sets forth the administration’s statement of objectives to reduce prescription medication costs by promoting competition and eliminating practices that lead to high drug prices. Referencing regulatory and policy actions from the first Trump administration and the Biden administration’s policy steps, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 aimed at lowering prescription drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries, the executive order sets forth a broad agenda to impact Medicare prescription drug costs, including in the Medicare Part D program.[1] The order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to propose and seek comment on guidance for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program and collaborate with Congress to align the treatment of small molecule drugs with biological products, citing concerns about industry investment distortions and cost increases for Medicare and its beneficiaries.[2]

Law Glossary
Social media law is a developing area of the law that includes both criminal and civil aspects. Generally, it covers legal issues related to user-generated content and the online sites that host or transmit it. Some of the special legal concerns raised by social media include privacy, including the rights of both social media users and third parties (for example, when photos are posted and used online without the permission of the people depicted); defamation; advertising law; and intellectual property (IP) law. Material shared on social media can sometimes infringe on a copyright, a trademark, or other IP rights.
