Updated: Patently Strategic Podcast, Highlighting Former Federal Judges Supporting Grant of ParkerVision's petition to US Supreme Court, Driving New Interest in the Case This Week
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) announces increased attention to its Supreme Court petition (No. 24-518) against TCL and LG Electronics, challenging the Federal Circuit's use of one-word affirmances in Patent Trial and Appeal Board appeals. The case has gained significant support, highlighted in the latest Patently Strategic podcast.
Two former Federal Circuit Judges, Paul Michel and Kathleen O'Malley, have publicly backed ParkerVision's position, stating the current practice violates Section 144 of the Patent Act. The case has received thirteen amici across nine briefs supporting Supreme Court review, including Harvard Law School's Professor Mary Ann Glendon.
Notably, the respondents (TCL and LGE) did not dispute the merits of ParkerVision's core argument regarding the requirement for written opinions in PTO appeals. The Supreme Court is scheduled to consider the petition on March 21st, 2025.
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) annuncia un'attenzione crescente alla sua petizione alla Corte Suprema (n. 24-518) contro TCL e LG Electronics, contestando l'uso da parte della Federal Circuit di affermazioni in una sola parola nei ricorsi presso il Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Il caso ha ottenuto un sostegno significativo, evidenziato nell'ultimo podcast di Patently Strategic.
Due ex giudici della Federal Circuit, Paul Michel e Kathleen O'Malley, hanno pubblicamente sostenuto la posizione di ParkerVision, affermando che la pratica attuale viola la Sezione 144 del Patent Act. Il caso ha ricevuto tredici amici in nove memorie a sostegno della revisione da parte della Corte Suprema, tra cui la professoressa Mary Ann Glendon della Harvard Law School.
È importante notare che i convenuti (TCL e LGE) non hanno contestato i meriti dell'argomento principale di ParkerVision riguardo alla necessità di pareri scritti nei ricorsi PTO. La Corte Suprema è programmata per esaminare la petizione il 21 marzo 2025.

Dos ex jueces del Circuito Federal, Paul Michel y Kathleen O'Malley, han respaldado públicamente la posición de ParkerVision, afirmando que la práctica actual viola la Sección 144 de la Ley de Patentes. El caso ha recibido trece amigos en nueve escritos que apoyan la revisión por parte de la Corte Suprema, incluyendo a la profesora Mary Ann Glendon de la Harvard Law School.
Es notable que los demandados (TCL y LGE) no disputaron los méritos del argumento central de ParkerVision sobre la necesidad de opiniones escritas en los recursos del PTO. Se espera que la Corte Suprema considere la petición el 21 de marzo de 2025.
파커비전 (OTCQB:PRKR)은 TCL 및 LG 전자에 대한 대법원 청원(번호 24-518)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있음을 발표하며, 연방 순회법원이 특허 재판 및 항소 위원회 항소에서 단어 한 개로 확정하는 방식을 도전하고 있습니다. 이 사건은 최근 Patently Strategic 팟캐스트에서 강조된 바와 같이 상당한 지지를 얻고 있습니다.
두 명의 전 연방 순회법원 판사인 Paul Michel과 Kathleen O'Malley는 파커비전의 입장을 공개적으로 지지하며, 현재의 관행이 특허법 제144조를 위반한다고 주장했습니다. 이 사건은 하버드 로스쿨의 Mary Ann Glendon 교수 등 아홉 개의 브리프에서 열세 개의 친구들의 지지를 받았습니다.
특히 피고(TCL 및 LGE)는 PTO 항소에서 서면 의견의 필요성에 대한 파커비전의 핵심 주장의 타당성을 다투지 않았습니다. 대법원은 2025년 3월 21일에 청원을 검토할 예정입니다.

Deux anciens juges du Circuit fédéral, Paul Michel et Kathleen O'Malley, ont publiquement soutenu la position de ParkerVision, affirmant que la pratique actuelle viole la section 144 de la loi sur les brevets. L'affaire a reçu treize amis dans neuf mémoires soutenant l'examen par la Cour suprême, y compris la professeure Mary Ann Glendon de la Harvard Law School.
Il est à noter que les intimés (TCL et LGE) n'ont pas contesté le bien-fondé de l'argument principal de ParkerVision concernant la nécessité d'opinions écrites dans les appels au PTO. La Cour suprême doit examiner la pétition le 21 mars 2025.
ParkerVision (OTCQB:PRKR) kündigt ein erhöhtes Interesse an seinem Antrag beim Obersten Gerichtshof (Nr. 24-518) gegen TCL und LG Electronics an, in dem die Verwendung von Ein-Wort-Bestätigungen durch den Federal Circuit in Berufungen beim Patent Trial and Appeal Board angefochten wird. Der Fall hat erhebliche Unterstützung gewonnen, die im neuesten Patently Strategic-Podcast hervorgehoben wurde.
Zwei ehemalige Richter des Federal Circuit, Paul Michel und Kathleen O'Malley, haben öffentlich die Position von ParkerVision unterstützt und erklärt, dass die aktuelle Praxis gegen Abschnitt 144 des Patentgesetzes verstößt.

JACKSONVILLE, FL / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2025 / ParkerVision, Inc. (OTCQB:PRKR), a leader in advanced wireless solutions, updates and expands upon yesterday's announcement that the new edition of the Patently Strategic podcast features ParkerVision's petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in a high-stakes patent case against TCL Industries Holdings Co., Ltd. ("TCL") and LG Electronics Inc. ("LGE"). The petition, No. 24-518, shows that the Federal Circuit's use of one-word affirmances under their local Rule 36 in Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) appeals, violates Section 144 of the Patent Act, which requires the court to issue an "opinion" in such appeals.
The Patently Strategic podcast has already received substantial impressions on its first day and is driving new attention to this important case including two more developments this week.
This afternoon the front page of the IPWatchdog featured an article about the podcast. That article can be viewed here.
The Patently Strategic podcast highlights the strong and growing consensus for why ParkerVision's petition should be granted:
Former Federal Circuit Judges Have Come Out in Favor Retired Judges Paul Michel and Kathleen O'Malley have even weighed in, expressly supporting ParkerVision's position. Judge Michel proclaimed: "The Federal Circuit's regular practice of issuing judgments without opinions in appeals from PTAB reviews contravenes the literal terms of Section 144, which contains no exceptions and warrants immediate Supreme Court scrutiny." And Judge O'Malley explained "the ParkerVision case is of particular concern" because the "guardrails against unduly depriving a party of property rights break down." The Patently Strategic podcast noted that support from former judges concerning their former court is very rare and signals the importance of the ParkerVision cert petition.
Consensus from a Federalist Society Debate Earlier this month, Mr. Vora, an appellate litigator at Kasowitz Benson & Torres, participated in a Federalist Society webinar debate and all participants agreed that the Court should grant the petition.
Strong Amicus Support The case has garnered widespread support from inventors' groups, patent holders, and other stakeholders in the patent system, with thirteen amici across nine briefs calling for Supreme Court review. Professor Mary Ann Glendon of Harvard Law School was also among the amici, arguing that opinion-writing is an essential check on judicial power.
Juliette Fassett, CEO of Happy Products, Inc., participated in the Patently Strategic podcast and discussed why the Fair Inventing Fund, where she is a board member, filed an amicus brief in support. "The Fair Inventing team," said Juliette, "thought the ParkerVision case perfectly embodies an element of what we're trying to correct in the current system. The US is destroying its homegrown innovations without even clearly explaining why. It's like we incubated our own autoimmune disorder and now we have to heal ourselves."
Opponents Concede Main Argument The Patently Strategic podcast took note of the fact that ParkerVision's reply brief underscored how the brief in opposition filed by respondents (TCL and LGE) did not dispute the merits of ParkerVision's petition. They did not even address the core issue of how 35 USC Sec. 144 requires the Federal Circuit to write opinions in PTO appeals.
Jeffrey Parker, CEO of Parker Vision, shared in the podcast that this is a compelling situation. By granting review, he observed, the Supreme Court could protect the "dignity" of "people who are hardworking and really make up a lot of our country."
During the podcast Mr. Vora discussed the important history of written opinions in patent appeals and how for the first time this history has been provided to the Supreme Court. The Parker Vision petition is the first time that this information has been presented to the Court.
A copy of the reply may be found online here and Messrs. Vora and Parker are available to discuss the petition's implications for inventors and the innovation landscape.
The Court is scheduled to consider the petition on March 21st.
