In this latest roundup, we look at some recent opinions from
around the country, an interesting article discussing the
constitutionality of the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act,
"My Cousin Vinny" and more.

The Supreme Court Continues to Turn Down Patent Eligibility
Petitions
This is unsurprising to anyone reading this blog, but the
Supreme Court continues to mostly ignore patent eligibility. I say
mostly for two reasons: First, the Court has often asked
for the input of the Solicitor General so there is at least enough
interest to request the brief. Of course, that has not led to the
Court granting a petition, even when the Solicitor General suggests
it. Second, Justice Kavanaugh seemingly wants to hear a patent
eligibility case. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court denied
certiorari in CareDx v.
