LegalTech New York as King Maker?

Everybody at LegalTech New York was abuzz last week as speculation increased that Mohamed ElBaradei will be the next president of Egypt. Why the trending spike? Because the Nobel Peace Prize winner spoke a year ago at LegalTech -- on Feb. 1, 2010 -- about "The Rule of Law and the Role of Information in Verifying Compliance in Developing Nations."

Supreme Court to Look at Critical Patent Issue in eBay Case

Nearly a hundred years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court examined injunctions for halting patent violations in a case about paper bags. On Wednesday, the justices will consider the same issue in a case about eBay's computerized auction technology. Times change, indeed, but will the law?

Prior Markman Rulings in Patent Case Can be Relitigated if Case Settles on Appeal

In a case of first impression, a federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled a plaintiff in a patent case is not collaterally estopped from litigating issues relating to claim construction -- so-called Markman issues -- that were ruled on in previous litigation if the prior case settled.

Securities: Insider Trading Redux

A new pattern of insider trading has emerged on Wall Street. Whereas the 1980s witnessed widespread insider trading by high-level insiders - Ivan Boesky, Martin Siegel, Dennis Levine and Michael Milken - today, a rash of insider trading by Generation-X Wall Streeters has surfaced. The Securities and Exchange Commission has brought several cases of the latter variety since 1995.
