EEOC Tells Court that Employers Could Be Required to Submit EEO-1 Pay Data by September 30
Client Alert | 1 min read | 04.04.19
In response to an April 3 court-ordered deadline to provide further guidance to employers regarding their EEO-1 filing obligations, the EEOC filed a submission with the court yesterday proposing that employers be required to submit 2018 EEO-1 compensation data by September 30, 2019. The agency indicated that it will hire a contractor, at a cost of over $3 million, to collect the data “including providing the processes, procedures and systems to undertake and close the collection by September 30, 2019.” The EEOC is awaiting a ruling on whether its proposal is acceptable, and has not, as yet, provided any further guidance to employers about the process, so stay tuned for further details in the coming days.

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).
