Welcome to Skilled in the Art. I’m Law.com IP reporter Scott Graham. I hope you all enjoyed the Memorial Day holiday and the chance to recharge for a day. Across the country students got a break from school and teachers got a day to infringe copyrighted study guides. Wait, what? I’ll explain below. Plus, we lost a couple of valued members of the IP bar. Senators Thom Tillis and Chris Coons announced the first witnesses who’ll testify on the state of patent eligibility. And Apple wins a big patent case despite losing at the PTAB. As always, you can email me your own thoughts and follow me on Twitter.

Houston’s Teachable Moment on Copyrights
When I saw that jurors had awarded $9.2 million in a copyright dispute involving Houston’s public schools and the makers of study guides, I just assumed that the school district was the winner. Schools are about truth and fair play, right? I always associate study guides with sneaky shortcuts like CliffsNotes.
