My Latest EFF Amicus Brief: Commil v. Cisco

Last Thursday, EFF filed the latest amicus brief I helped write.  As explained in EFF's blog post, the case involves the level of intent necessary to induce someone else to infringe a patent.  In Commil v. Cisco, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit had ruled that a good faith belief that a patent is invalid is a defense to a claim for inducement.  The Supreme Court agreed to review the case; EFF's brief supports the Federal Circuit's rule.  Public Knowledge also has a very good blog post discussing the case.
