The Alliance of U.S. Startups & Inventors for Jobs (USIJ) filed an amicus curiae brief on September 3, 2025, in support of Dolby Laboratories. The brief underscores the importance of a reliable and balanced patent system for American innovators, particularly small businesses and startups that depend on strong intellectual property protections to secure investment and bring technologies to market.
“The Panel decision, if allowed to stand, will create a precedent from this Court that injures all patent owners – including USIJ’s members – who might be attacked by anonymous challengers using stand-ins, such as Unified Patents. It also will encourage such stand-ins to misrepresent the absence of RPIs whenever they think they may not get caught.”
