Via AIPLA: #DesignDay 2024 will be Thursday, May 9:

#DesignPatents

To recap yesterday's #DesignDay:

- No announcement about the #PatentBar

- Lots of hating on Curver/SurgiSil

- No mention at all of the biggest thing going on in design patent litigation right now, the #ScheduleA phenomenon*

______
* The first-appealed Schedule A design patent case did get mentioned, but only as to its own merits.

And we're done with #DesignDay 2023. No word on the #PatentBar. And only the vaguest allusion to the biggest thing going on in design patent litigation rn (IMHO): #ScheduleA cases.

Young: "Stay tuned to future USPTO-related events and postings." They will "provide their training materials online" and will "be providing webinars over the summer."

#DesignDay

Back to Karen Young, Director, Technology Center 2900.

#DesignDay

Ideavillage (PTAB 2022).

#DesignDay

Ex parte Smith (PTAB 2022).
#DesignDay

Now: Ex parte Grede (PTAB 2022).

#DesignDay

Next up: The breast pump case.

#DesignDay

Finally, the #ScheduleA phenomenon makes an appearance (indirectly) at #DesignDay.

For more on this case, see https://patentlyo.com/patent/2022/10/guest-post-about.html

Holtz mentions "blog posts" about the #Wepay cases (from the #Greciaverse), which...I think means me.

#DesignDay

Up next: A "Report from the Front Lines" from Rebekah Holtz.

#DesignDay

O'Dea: Even if LKQ waived the Rosen issue here, we may see others pick it up.

#DesignDay

Again, if you're interested in my view on Rosen, see: https://patentlyo.com/patent/2022/12/defense-rosen-references.html

tl;dr: Rosen is good but the Federal Circuit is applying it too strictly.

#DesignDay

This is a generous explanation of step 2 of the Durling test.

Really, the judges who came up with it didn't even agree on what it meant.

For my thoughts on the issue raised in the pending motion for en banc review:

And the "major design patent case" is....LKQ!!
