Accenture Pushes Fed. Circ. to Nix Software IP Invalidation

August 6, 2012

Law360

On Monday, August 6, Accenture Global Services GmbH “urged the Federal Circuit to overturn a lower court’s invalidation of its software patent in its suit against Guidewire Software Inc., claiming that upholding the decision could create precedent that computer software can’t be protected by patents.” Accenture is represented by Finnegan in this matter.
