The Federal Circuit recently affirmed an ITC holding that the AIA’s § 102 on-sale bar applies to the sale of a product made according to a secret process when that sale occurs more than one year before the patent’s effective filing date. In so doing, the court confirmed that, despite changes to the text of § 102, the AIA did not undo long-settled pre-AIA precedent that the on-sale bar applies when, before the critical date, a party sells products secretly made using a patented process.

Akin’s D.C. Office sponsors the DC SCORES organization at Shirley Chisolm Elementary School (formerly Tyler Elementary) as part of the firm’s decades-long partnership with the school. DC SCORES is a local organization committed to the holistic development of children through sports, education, and leadership, and its after-school soccer, poetry and service learning programs are now deeply imbedded in the culture at Chisolm, as Principal Jasmine Brann highlights. In fact, the Chisolm Tigers prevailed this June in the DC SCORES city-wide soccer championship. And for two years running, Akin’s team has been runner-up in the DC SCORES CUP, which raises funds for this outstanding organization. We are extremely proud of Shirley Chisolm Elementary and Akin's D.C. office team for their distinguished work on and off the field, and grateful to DC SCORES for its hugely impactful work throughout the DMV! #DCSCORES #CommunityReach #Volunteering
