On April 4, 2025, Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP along with Eimer Stahl LLP, on behalf of more than 500 law firms from across the country, filed an amicus brief in Perkins Coie LLP v. U.S. Department of Justice et al., United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Case No. 1:25-cv-00716. The brief argues that it is critical for our judicial system and the rule of law that lawyers be able to represent clients without suffering governmental repercussions merely for doing so. The Executive Orders recently issued against prominent law firms raise important issues for our courts to decide. We are honored to participate together with so many of our colleagues in the legal profession in the submission of this brief. #mto #amicusbrief #amicus #perkinscoie

Munger, Tolles & Olson’s Zachary Briers and Nate Sussman published an article in the Daily Journal titled “Patentability and Ordinary Skill in the Age of AI.” The article discusses how advances in AI could raise the bar for “non-obviousness” under existing patentability standards and result in applicants, litigants, and courts placing greater emphasis on “secondary” considerations. #MTO #DailyJournal #artificialintelligence #patentlaw https://lnkd.in/gTziqTsj
