New Reporting Requirements For Grant and Cooperative Agreement Recipients
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.14.10
On September 14, 2010, OMB issued two regulations implementing the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 requirements applicable to recipients of federal financial assistance. The first requires (among other things) that, for any new award made after October 1, 2010, applicants and recipients of grants and cooperative agreements must register in the Central Contractor Registration ("CCR"), and the second requires (among other things) that recipients of grants and other forms of federal financial assistance must (subject to a few limitations that generally mirror those in the FAR) provide information about the recipient's executive compensation, first-tier subawards over $25,000, and subrecipients' executive compensation.

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).
