Back to the Future: CBCA to Implement New Electronic Docketing System
Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.03.25
On December 17, 2024, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (Board) announced its plan to launch a new Electronic Docketing System (EDS). Once implemented, the Board will require use of the new EDS for most submissions.
For individuals already registered with the Government Accountability Office’s Electronic Protest Docketing System (EPDS), the EDS interface and functionality will be similar. As with EPDS, it appears that EDS submissions will be accessible only to those private-party and agency representatives litigating the matter.
The Board originally planned to launch the new EDS on January 1, but the Board has temporarily postponed the launch to allow practitioners more time to register. In the meantime, contractors and their counsel should be aware of this impending change and review the Board’s guidance (linked here) to ensure timely and appropriate filings in CDA appeals and FEMA arbitrations.

The ruling breaks down barriers to the patenting of AI algorithms in the UK and paves the way for a wider change in the UK IPO’s approach to assessing excluded subject matter.
