OMB Approves Revised OFCCP Scheduling Letter
Client Alert | 1 min read | 10.03.14
Significant changes are just over the horizon for federal contractors and subcontractors, as OMB has approved the revised Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing proposed by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. As further explained in the linked alert, the revised Scheduling Letter will require contractors, at the outset of a compliance review, to submit to OFCCP individualized compensation data, personnel activity data broken out by each racial subgroup (rather than in two groupings, minorities and non-minorities), and additional materials to demonstrate compliance with the new Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act and section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act regulations that became effective earlier this year.

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).
