The U.S. Supreme Court recently vacated a $43 million trademark judgment, addressing a narrow issue regarding corporate separateness while leaving broader trademark law questions unresolved. This decision aligns with the Supreme Court's refusal to consider a Florida souvenir store chain's challenge against a Second Circuit ruling that dismissed its claims related to a bankrupt beachwear company's allegedly fraudulent trademark registration, which was tied to a $3.5 million settlement. Additionally, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has rescinded a 2022 memo that provided guidance on when the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) could deny patent reviews based on parallel litigation, potentially granting the board greater discretion in such matters. This change may lead to an increase in discretionary denials by the PTAB. Furthermore, the USPTO issued a Show Cause Order to cancel over 40,000 trademark registrations originating from China, prompting a response from Shenzhen. The Supreme Court also declined to address a pollution-related case involving over 1,000 Peruvians against a mining company controlled by billionaire Ira Rennert, which further underscores the court's current stance on various legal matters.
