Morale Booster

Two years ago the legal department at Computer Associates was a tough place to work. Morale was low and the general attitude was: Keep your head down, do your work and don't ask questions. But today, an engaged and approachable GC, Kenneth Handal, meets regularly with his more-than-doubled staff. Handal created a clear organizational structure and replaced the former cubicle farm with an office suite that allows for confidential conversations. And now CA attorneys say they aren't talking about leaving.

Any court opinion that contains the words, "Crystalline 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-3-vinyl-3-cephem.-4-carboxylic acid," doesn't exactly put us in our comfort zone. Yet, upon closer inspection, it appears that the Federal Circuit's en banc decision Monday in Lupin Ltd. v. Abbott Laboratories is an important and long-awaited clarification of patent law that deserves attention. After decades of debate within the IP bar and the Federal Circuit, a divided en banc panel on Monday established the standard for evaluating so-called patent-by-process claims.

Problems With the Patent System: Nothing Cash Can't Cure

A new patent reform bill was introduced in Congress on April 18, and the lobbyists are circling. Some points receive nearly unanimous support -- the Patent and Trademark Office is overburdened, and it's time for America to dump its unique first-to-invent system for the first-to-file system common in the rest of the world -- but others are the subject of hot debate.

Whistleblower Breaks New Ground

Richard Newbold, a doctor turned entrepreneur, told hospitals he was trying to help them avoid trouble with the government. But now, instead of acting as a consultant, he's charging hospitals with breaking the law. Lawyers following the case say Newbold has broken new ground under the False Claims Act, a chief government weapon against health care fraud. They believe he is the first whistleblower to accuse a large group of defendants of fraud without personal knowledge of what they have done and why.
