When I started in this business back in the '90s, the Supreme Court rarely got involved in patent cases.
So far, this term the high court has heard four patent cases. This week, they hear two more: the first, today, is Nautilus v. Biosig Instruments, related to the standard for indefiniteness of patent claims. The second, on Wednesday, is Limelight v. Akamai, relating to induced infringement.
The part I can't figure out is what's changed. Is it Roberts? The Chief does have more influence than the other justices on which cases are granted certiorari.
