DoD Issues Long-Awaited Interim Rule on Cyber Requirements and Cloud Services
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.03.15
As discussed in our recent blog post, on August 26, DoD published an Interim Rule that would expand the already onerous requirements of the DFARS Safeguarding Clause by broadening its application to "covered defense information" and by requiring subcontractors to report cyber incidents directly to DoD. As discussed in a separate blog post, the Interim Rule also seeks to ensure uniformity in the DoD's IT acquisition and use of cloud computing services by adding T&C's, including that, unless otherwise authorized, cloud service providers must maintain all government data within the U.S., outlying areas, or DoD premises.

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).
