Are Your GSA Schedule Products TAA-Compliant?
Client Alert | 1 min read | 10.08.14
While Multiple Award Schedules administered by GSA can be a valuable tool for selling to government customers, these government-wide contracts include numerous special requirements, including the requirement that each and every product offered comply with the Trade Agreements Act restriction on providing products from so-called "non-designated countries." In "Where Are Your Products From? The Importance and Challenges of Managing TAA Compliance for GSA Schedule Holders", published in Bloomberg BNA Federal Contracts Report, C&M's Cathy Kunz and Addie Cliffe discuss recent enforcement actions that highlight the risk of TAA non-compliance and offer practical pointers for assuring compliance.

From ‘Second’ to ‘First:’ Federal Circuit Tackles Obvious Claim Errors
Patent claims must be clear and definite, as they set the boundaries of the patentee’s rights. Occasionally, however, claim language contains errors, such as typographical mistakes or incorrect numbering. Courts possess very limited authority to correct such errors. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has emphasized that judicial correction is appropriate only in rare circumstances, where (1) the error is evident from the face of the patent, and (2) the proposed correction is the sole reasonable interpretation in view of the claim language, specification, and prosecution history. See Group One, Ltd. v. Hallmark Cards, Inc., 407 F.3d 1297, 1303 (Fed. Cir. 2005) and Novo Indus., L.P. v. Micro Molds Corp., 350 F.3d 1348, 1357 (Fed. Cir. 2003).
