Overview
Leason Ellis obtained a victory in the Federal Circuit for its clients ScentSational Technologies LLC. A plaintiff filed a complaint in the Southern District of New York alleging that he was the inventor of certain patents and patent applications of ScentSational. After numerous amended complaints in the district court, Leason Ellis' motion to dismiss with prejudice was granted in January 2016. On appeal, the Federal Circuit affirmed, agreeing that the plaintiff failed to plead a reputational injury sufficient to sustain Article III standing.
