EEO-1 Deadline Extended to May 31, 2019

Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 02.05.19

Employers will have a little more time to file their EEO-1 reports this year. Due to a delay caused by the partial government shutdown in January, the EEOC’s EEO-1 online system will not be available until “early March” according to a notice on the EEO-1 website. As a result, the EEOC is extending the deadline for employers to file their 2018 EEO-1 Reports from March 31, 2019 to May 31, 2019. The EEOC notes that further details and filing instructions for the 2018 EEO-1 Report will be forthcoming in “the coming weeks.” We will send out any further updates as they become available.

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)....
