Earlier this month, the Federal Circuit released its opinion in Micron Technology Inc. v. Longhorn IP, LLC, a patent case we have been following because it attracted three amicus briefs. In it, the Federal Circuit reviewed a judgment of the District of Idaho, which held that federal patent law does not preempt Idaho’s Bad Faith Assertions of Patent Infringement Act and, as a result, imposed a bond of $8 million on Longhorn before the court would proceed with the case.

This is our opinion summary.
