Anthony de Alcuaz was quoted on September 23 by Law360 in an article regarding Aristocrat Technologies Australia Party Ltd.'s appeal of a U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California decision which rendered Aristocrat's patents relating to slot machines invalid based on an improperly revived patent application. The federal appeals court, however, ruled that the improper revival of a patent application is not a cognizable defense and remanded the case back to the district court. "For the clients, we're extremely happy because the [district] decision wasn't a correct one," said Mr. de Alcuaz, one of Aristocrat's lawyers in the case.
