Apple, Google, and other major tech companies have lost a lawsuit against the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) over a rule that limits the number of patent-validity reviews. A California federal court ruled that the USPTO did not unlawfully implement the rule, which has been a point of contention for these tech giants. The court also stated that the USPTO was not required to hold a notice-and-comment period before creating this rule, marking a significant setback for the companies involved.
