A new article on a recent U.S. Supreme Court patent litigation ruling cites recent comments made by Womble Bond Dickinson attorneys Kean DeCarlo and Scott Sudderth.

The Law360 article, “A Post-SAS Alternative to Inter Partes Review” , written by Gould & Ratner LLP partner David Newman, examines the SAS Institute v. Iancu ruling and how it may shape the landscape of patent litigation. In the article, Newman turns to comments DeCarlo and Sudderth made to IP Watchdog immediately after the SAS Institute ruling.

Newman writes, “Kean DeCarlo and Scott Sudderth of Womble Bond Dickinson LLP have predicted that SAS Institute v. Iancu ‘is primarily a pro petitioner ruling that will increase both the leverage of petitioners in inter partes review proceedings and the patent holder’s expenses resulting from the requirement to defend all the asserted patent claims.’”
