Aug 07, 2017•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
A recent Supreme Court ruling is threatening to end a single Texas town's outsized role in American patent law, but one local judge isn't taking the ruling lying down. Ryan Davis, senior patent reporter at Law360, comes on the show to talk us through what’s happening down in the Lone Star State. Also on this week’s show, the hosts discuss internet giants including Google and Facebook opposing a bill aimed at combating sex trafficking, an ex-King & Spalding associate suing the firm for allegedly firing him in retaliation for reporting ethical breaches, and the ACLU’s defense of John Oliver’s constitutional right to be mean on television.
