United States:

As many of you know, the Federal Circuit's decision in Trading Technologies was the first time a
graphical user interface had been found patent eligible by the
Federal Circuit. The defendant CQG moved for both panel
rehearing and enbanc rehearing.
My client SHzoom filed a request to make the Trading
Technologies decision precedential. CQG attempted to leverage
that motion as a further reason for the case to be reheard, arguing
in their respose that "SHzoom's Motion requesting that the
panel's decision in this case be made precedential should be
denied. Its arguments further illustrate why CQG's Petition for
rehearing en banc should be granted."
The Federal Circuit did not bite and today denied CQG's
petitions for rehearing. We'll likely see their decision
on SHzoom's motion shortly.
