Collabo Innovations, Inc. v. Sony Corp., Nos. 2019-1152 and 2019-1154 (February 25, 2020) (nonprecedential);
Patent No. 7,023,034

Key point(s):

• Arguments are waived on
  appeal when not timely raised before the trial court; it is untimely to contest
  claim construction for the first time at trial when the contested construction
  is used to institute proceedings
• An illustration, combined
  with expert testimony, can be substantial evidence showing that a claim
  limitation is taught even if the claim limitation is not explicitly described
  in the specification

In re JC Hospitality LLC, Nos. 2018-2048, 2018-2049 (February 28, 2020)
(nonprecedential); Trademark Application Serial Nos. 86/525,425 and 86/525,431

Key point(s):

• A word that is a double
  entendre but does not bear any relationship to the good or services applied for
  is likely generic and not registrable
• A showing of distinctiveness
  needs more evidence than sales and marketing figures for the applicant’s
  businesses in isolation
