Ports and energy companies could soon join a growing market for infrastructure bonds which has been driven to date by toll roads, Ana Novaes, commissioner at Brazil's Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios (CVM), tells LatinFinance. Companies will be able to sell infrastructure bonds to refinance debt and, ultimately, finance greenfield projects, she predicts. This follows a recent announcement that the government will provide more generous returns on road toll projects, a move Novaes says...

Reviews for this host's other properties
We spent 2 days in this studio.
It is really very well located on Gran Via calle.
In one minute, you are in the most tourist area.
The host we welcame us with cheerfulness and affability
This appartement is very quiet even with windows open and cleanly.
It corresponds to the description and pictures.
The windows overlook a wall. The light of day has dificulties to illuminate the studio and the electric light is a must even during the day. This is offset by a strong electric lighting. This has not been a problem for us.
We payed an extra-charge of 25€ for the cleaning but it was noted on the studio description.
We were happy with our stay and would recommend this studio for its proximity to Gran Via.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
we had a soprpesa not very pleasing because we had rented the apprtamento "SAFIRO" which was described in the ad 50sqm.
we found ourselves in the one next to it will be a maximum of 25 square meters and was completely dark because it faced a wall of a nearby house.
however, the interior was taken care of and was equipped with everything that had been described. If you use only for sleep or for a few hours is especially convenient for the location perfectly in the center.
Great location in the heart of Madrid. The apartment's interior, so no noise from the Gran Via which is 20 m is heard. Very clean throughout. Very attentive host.
Magnífica ubicación, en pleno centro de Madrid. El apartamento es interior, por lo que no se oye ningún ruido de la Gran Vía que se encuentra a 20 m. Muy limpio todo. El anfitrión muy atento.
The house is a small but well-organized monolacale.
The location is great and the owners were friendly and helpful. The only difficulty has been caused by having available only a bunch of keys. Being a space for three people should be provided by at least two decks.
La casa é un piccolo monolacale ma ben organizzato.
La posizione é ottima e i proprietari sono stati gentili e disponibili. L'unica difficoltà é stata causata dall'avere a disposizione solo un mazzo di chiavi. Essendo uno spazio per tre persone dovrebbero fornirne almeno due mazzi.
We had a nice stay in Madrid. Centrally located apartment. Has everything you needed. Very recommendable!! Sometimes keen of hearing.
Central but not power, quiet, clean, a treat to spend several days in Madrid. Gravias for the timeliness, treatment and care.
Repeat, greetings from the south.
Centrico a mas no poder, silencioso, limpio, un lujazo para pasar varios dias en Madrid. Gravias por la puntualidad, trato, y atenciones.
Repetiremos, saludos desde el sur.
We had a great stay in Madrid a couple. The studio was spotless and the value excellent. Very central, renovated and very clean, perfect heating, very quiet despite the tourists in the studio next door not friendly at all. Check in and out went well. Sleeping a little soft but overall we highly recommend it. Note: The owner rents actually 3 studios on the same floor and distributes them according to arrivals. Ours did not match the photos and was rather just 30m2 50m2 announced that he must know. For us it was perfect!
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en couple à Madrid. Le studio était impeccable et le rapport qualité-prix excellent. Très central, rénové et très propre, chauffage parfait, très calme malgré les touristes dans le studio d'à-côté pas respectueux du tout. Check-in et out se sont bien passés. Couchage un peu mou mais dans l'ensemble nous le recommandons vivement. Remarque : le propriétaire loue en fait 3 studios sur le même palier et les distribue en fonction des arrivées. Le nôtre ne correspondait pas aux photos et faisait plutôt à peine 30m2 que les 50m2 annoncés il faut le savoir. Pour nous c'était parfait !
Excellent. Very central and comfortable. I recommend it 100%
Excelente. Muy céntrico y comodo. Lo recomiendo 100 %
The apartment is very well located. Very clean and the person who greeted us on arrival was very attentive and even left us a bottle of wine upon arrival. Return.
El apartamento está muy bien situado. Muy limpio y la persona que nos recibió a la llegada estuvo muy atenta e incluso nos dejó una botella de vino de bienvenida. Volveremos.

This renewal application seeks funding to continue the highly successful Cancer Therapeutics Training (CT2) Program at the Moores Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego. The mission of the CT2 program is to train the PhD and physician-scientists who will become the next generation of leaders in the field of cancer therapeutics and diagnostics in each of the major steps required for successful translation of laboratory-based discoveries into safe and effective therapeutic agents and diagnostic modalities. The CT2 training is designed to position trainees to play key leadership roles in the field of cancer developmental therapeutics and diagnostics. The 22 faculty of the CT2 Program are all Members of the Cancer Center and are based in 10 departments in the School of Medicine, the Scripps Oceanographic Institute or the general campus. Each faculty mentor is an accomplished investigator and educator with a history of training superb post-doctoral fellows. Each has substantial peer-reviewed cancer or cancer-related research funding. All of the participating faculty are conducting translational research and have been selected because of their interest in new cancer therapeutics. This program is extensively integrated into the other cancer related activities of the Cancer Center and of UCSD. The goal is to recruit and retain 8 MD and PhD scientists in this two-year program that will position them for careers in the development of new cancer drugs or the diagnostics needed to guide the use of these drugs. The training program has 3 components: 1) the completion of formal didactic teaching sessions that cover tools essential to the drug development process;2) the conduct of a drug or diagnostic development research project under the direction of a faculty mentor;and, 3) required participation in the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research or an equivalent national drug development meeting. Trainees are also expected to participate in Cancer Center and Departmental seminars, research rounds and journal clubs to expand the breadth of their understanding of cancer research, and prepare formal project plans and practice or real grant applications for review by the Executive Committee. Methods are in place to ensure that all trainees are properly instructed in the principles of responsible conduct of research and scientific integrity. Trainees are recruited nationwide and special efforts are made recruit and retain exceptional minority, women and disadvantaged candidates. During its first 4 years of operation the CT2 Program has drawn trainees from major research universities across the country as well as from the Gradate Biomedical Sciences, Hematology/Oncology, Surgery and Radiology fellowship programs UCSD. This Program has been so successful that the Cancer Center has established a parallel program of additional fellowships in cancer therapeutics funded by donations.
This application seeks funding to continue a training program in developmental therapeutics focused on cancer drugs at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego. Our vision is that cancer can be controlled with novel therapeutics directed at molecular targets critical for tumor cell survival when combined with biomarkers that allow individualization of treatment. The mission of the program is to provide training to post-doctoral PhD and physician-scientists in each of the major steps in the development of a novel cancer therapeutics so as to position these individuals to play leading roles in translating laboratory-based discoveries into safe and effective therapeutic agents.

There has to be a way
That I can have him
And he, I.
There has to be a single morsel of his being
That misses me just as much as I miss him!!!!
Show me Boo!
Baby I know you miss me.
Because I miss you.
And God, I would do anything to be with you
But you reject me
And make me try
And it's for your own good, yeah I am aware
But my own good isn't what I have been up to…so
What now?
I love you
But what does that even mean anymore…
Certainly not what it used to…

Do work you love
and feel called to do
Do work you love
and feel called to do
Hi, I'm Allyson Scammell, certified coach, EFT practitioner, farm girl turned ex-pat, and lover of wild bison. I'm here to help you discover + go after the "work" you LOVE + FEEL CALLED to do – whether it's ON THE SIDE in your spare time or making a living of it FULL-TIME.
Why? I spent years trapped in the perfect career that wasn't perfect for me. It then took some trial, a lot of error, and about 10 years to go after what I truly wanted. My journey was at times messy. I made knee-jerk decisions based on fear, held myself back, and refused to own my true identity.
Now, as a coach, I'm on a mission to help you (1) FREE yourself from a draining day or ho-hum job that makes you feel trapped, on auto-pilot, exhausted, or unsatisfied, and (2) GET CLEAR about what you most want, MOVE in the direction you most want to go, and FOLLOW THROUGH on your highest plans and intentions.
I specialize in helping purpose-driven peeps, such as yourself, pursue the following:
» A PASSION PROJECT: start a non-profit, spearhead a community project, launch a humanitarian pursuit
» A CREATIVE ENDEAVOR: write a book, offer your art, play your music
» A NEW BUSINESS: become a coach, sell your creations, be an entrepreneur
» A CAREER SHIFT: transition to a new field, join a different organization, find a more rewarding position
Whether your passion is a "side hustle," that you do before and after work, or you're ready to make your passion a full-time endeavor, I'll help you to get serious about pursing + achieving the things that mean the most to you.
The end result will be you, energized, free, and joyous, because you're offering to the world that which is uniquely + expressly you.
Note! I am currently not accepting new clients. Add your name to the Coaching Interest List to be the first to know when there's availability.
I'll help you in the following ways:
"What you seek is seeking you."—Rumi
"After running my own design firm for 16 years, I felt stuck knowing that I wanted to do pursue additional passions without giving up the daily work that I love. Working with Allyson has given me the tools and techniques to pursue these passions and to carve out the time to do so. She is an amazing listener and is able to help craft vision and action from the thoughts spinning in my head."
Jen Rolston, Founder, Eden Design
"We all get stuck, we all procrastinate, we all make bad decisions, but Allyson gave me the tools I needed to get unstuck and stop procrastinating!"
Denise Mortati, Attorney, Law Offices of Denise A. Mortati
"Allyson provided a safe and supportive space to explore personal and career challenges and to help me find positive ways to move forward."

Being an old-fashioned sort of chap I still mainly get along with SQL*Plus and the TextPad IDE. TextPad is nagware, but the licence is cheap and the tool has some fantastic features. Also people have written PLSQL syntax libraries for it, which give you keyword highlighting. It is also possible to hook TextPad into other desktop tools such as Subversion.
SQL^Developer is written in java, which means it is a voracious consumer of memory. Still there is undoubted merit in having a data browser. Also the upcoming version 2.1 features built-in unit test, which could be very tasty.
Useful utilities:
In defence of Luddism
The danger with tools like TOAD and SQL*Developer is that they allow us to execute DML and DDL directly against the database, including editing PL/SQL source. This is fine and dandy and awfully in the spirit of Getting Things Done. Until we need to revert our changes. Or the production DBA demands a script....
Of course it is possible to use TOAD or SQL Developer in a safe fashion - I know SQL Developer can hook into source control as well - if just requires more self-discipline.
I always liked the PL/SQL Developer by Allround Automations - an excellent, quick and easy to use, and totally affordable tool!
For an interactive query shell - much better than SQL*Plus - I used to use "Golden" - a nice and powerful shareware tool, highly recommended.
Much better than anything else I ever tried with Oracle.
Might be a slightly different answer than you were expecting but I feel the Oracle documentation and in particular this book should be essential for any PL/SQL toolbox.
I use:
Toby's PLSQL Editor can do:
My primary editor for PL/SQL packages is SlickEdit.
SlickEdit offers good support for PL/SQL development, though you might miss the direct connection to the database that tools like TOAD or SQLDeveloper offer.
On the other hand, working on PL/SQL files (instead of directly working on database objects, like many TOAD users do) is IMO a good practice for any non-trivial project.
In addition to SlickEdit, I use a few self-made helper programs, e.g. one that loads source code from the database and creates a source file, and another one that compiles the source and calculates the correct line numbers for errors in a file that contains multible objects, e.g. both package specification and body.
For direct database access, I prefer SQLDeveloper, mostly because it's free and works well on Linux.

PHOENIX -- The Houston Astros haven't had a skid like this in six years. Things are so bad that Roy Oswalt finally lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Carlos Quentin made amends for an earlier two-base error with a two-run home run and the Diamondbacks beat Oswalt for the first time, 8-4 on Sunday, extending the Astros' losing streak to eight games.
Houston has been outscored 66-16 during the skid.
"There's no question," Astros manager Phil Garner said. "We've had an absolutely awful, rotten, no-good, lousy week."
The Diamondbacks completed a four-game sweep by a combined score of 35-12.
"One hit leads to another," Quentin said. "Things are falling now."
Livan Hernandez (5-2) allowed 11 hits in his 43rd complete game and first since Sept. 9, 2005, for the Washington Nationals against San Francisco.
Oswalt, 6-0 in seven career starts against Arizona before Sunday, blanked the Diamondbacks for four innings and nursed a 1-0 lead into the fifth.
After an 0-2 count, Oswalt (6-4) walked Conor Jackson to start the inning. That brought up Quentin, whose error in right field led to Houston's run in the fourth. Quentin hit the first pitch 403 feet into the stands just beyond the left-center wall to give Arizona a 2-1 lead.
The Diamondbacks rookie said he was trying not to think too much about making up for his earlier error.
"You come up and you try not to do too much," he said. "You say 'Hey, let's slow down a little bit and just get a hit -- do something, get something going."'
Miguel Montero followed with a double past a diving first baseman Mike Lamb. Montero advanced to third when Hernandez bounced out, then scored when Chris Young singled to make it 3-1.
The Astros cut it to 3-2 in the seventh when Hunter Pence doubled, went to third on Morgan Ensberg's fly out, then scored when Brad Ausmus grounded out.
Arizona broke it open and ended Oswalt's day with a four-run seventh. Oswalt faced three batters in the inning without recording an out before giving way to right-hander Rick White. The Diamondbacks scored on RBI singles by Alberto Callaspo, Eric Byrnes, Mark Reynolds and Jackson.
"I was pretty bad today," Oswalt said. "I just wasn't making quality pitches when I needed to. Right now the pitching staff on a whole is putting a lot of pressure on ourselves. ... Instead of just going out there to pitch, we're putting pressure on ourselves by trying to throw a shutout every time we go out there."
Houston took a 1-0 lead in the fourth. With one out, Lance Berkman singled and the ball got past Quentin in right field.
Berkman made it to third on the play, then scored on Carlos Lee's sacrifice fly, Lee's NL-leading 45th RBI.
Ensberg hit his fifth home run of the season in the ninth, third on the road trip.
Oswalt allowed six runs, five earned, and 10 hits in seven-plus innings.
Hernandez's second complete game of the series for the Diamondbacks. Rookie Micah Owings went the distance Thursday night.
"We've envisioned our starters picking up a lot of the load, taking some of the stress off the bullpen and being able to go deep," Arizona manager Bob Melvin said. "Now we're getting a little farther into the season where these guys are able to throw 125 pitches if they need to."
Garner, attempting to awaken the slumbering Astros' offense, took the unusual step of having team batting practice before a day game, to little effect.
Houston limps home from an 0-7 trip with their worst losing streak since dropping eight in a row six years ago nearly to the day -- from May 21-29, 2001.
"It will turn," Garner said. "It won't be this way all year."
- Quentin's home run was just the third given up by Oswalt against the Diamondbacks.
- Oswalt has given up 19 hits in his last two games.
- Arizona 2B Orlando Hudson got his first day off of the season.
- Every Arizona starting position player got a hit.
- Mike Muchlinski replaced Jerry Crawford on the umpiring crew. Crawford also missed Saturday night's game because of "health issues."
- The Diamondbacks finished their homestand 5-2.
- It was Arizona's second four-game sweep of the season.

Why iPhone 8 will not have a ceramic body as rumors reveal
So the vast majority of people who are looking for classic iPhone 8, we are here to inform you that Apple will use a form of toughened glass for production this time as well. And it's going to be curved at both the front and rear of the iPhone. It might feel like the same surface on the iPhone 7, but the shape and tactile sensations, will be all-new.
The ceramic skin of Apple Watch is not gonna be adopted by iPhone 8, most probably.
So fabrication fans , take a deep breathe and wait for the Matrix stuff…
Gadget designer Greg Koeing pointed out key problems about adapting ceramic design with immediate effect for iPhone 8. It has taken time to build such logistics system and processing mechanism with Aluminium for Apple.
If Apple is going with ceramic , then the company need to start every operations from scratch.
The supply chain demands a well occupied department to handle the shipping of bulk ceramic products. By this time maintaining the logistics for this would be an extra burden when its comes to promised launch.
Koeing writes that,
"in fact, if we scale the numbers used in the booklet up to iPhone size devices and cycle times, Apple would need 2 football field's worth of kiln space for each ceramic iPhone to sinter for the requisite 36 hours. For the 2 hours of hard ceramic machining to finish the case details, Apple would need to go from 20,000 CNC machines, to 250,000. They would need another 200,000 employees to perform the 2 hours of hand polishing to "bring out the strength and luster."
So this is the reason why Apple may opt not to use ceramic for iPhone 8 to be launched next year, a device which is highly anticipated by fans after the lackluster response to the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

Free pattern each month
It all started with a lovely zig zag lace panel, chosen for its simplicity and ability to allow Madeline Tosh's gorgeous hand-dyed yarn to show to its best advantage. With a little creative shaping, the lace panels are worked so that they span out towards the bottom edge of the shawl as the triangular shape is created.
The result – a fabulously complicated-looking, but easy-to-work overall lace design that draws the eyes in many directions. An open lace border is knit to finish the shawl and give it the wonderfully pronounced scalloped edge and some contrasting textures.
This sophisticated shawl is also a quick knit, as it only uses 2 hanks of Madeline Tosh's DK yarn, which knits like a dream on size 8 needles. Second sample knitted up beautifully on size 10 needles with 3 balls of mohair yarn, showing just how versatile this pattern is!
A stunning piece to drape around your neck or shoulders and an absolutely beautiful gift option!

Good design for thicker yarn, and a synthetic which will not block like natural yarn. Am in Aus and have to substitute yarn and needles and am doing it bigger for a large lady who wants it for a 'bed Jacket'. Looking good so far and am calculating when stitches will be about right count to add scalloped edging, nearly there!

I am also finished the second one. My first, I messed up and did not get the increases so I made it into a scarf, worked in two sections with the ruffle at the center and grafted together.
On my shawl, I am working two extra repeats of the pattern and then going into the ruffle

The program will provide pre- and post doctoral trainees with a solid academic background in cellular and molecular immunology, including relevant coursework, regularly scheduled seminars and journal clubs, and rigorous laboratory training with the goal of preparing our students for careers in immunology research. The 24 Immunology Training Program (ITP) faculty represent a broad range of departmental affiliations and research interests but most have either primary or secondary appointments in the Departments of Microbiology, Pathology, and/or Medicine. Predoctoral students will be jointly admitted to one of these departments where they will follow a modified curriculum specifically designed for students in the ITP. However, the major focus for both pre- and postdoctoral students will be an innovative, challenging and focused research experience. This will be accomplished by coupling research training in the laboratory of one of the training faculty with supportive advisory input from other ITP members. The diverse research interests of our faculty provide trainees with a wide range of opportunities in both basic and translational research. Particular areas of faculty expertise include regulation of B cell development and function, transcriptional regulation of gene activity, mechanisms of lymphocyte transformation, immune responses to microbial infections, factors predisposing to autoimmune disease, cytokine biology, cell activation and apoptosis, immunotherapy and vaccine development, toll-like receptors, and innate immunity. We intend to support 8 predoctoral and 3 postdoctoral students each year. Trainees will be selected based on their academic record and previous evidence of commitment and talent for basic research. Special efforts will be made to recruit minority and MD/PhD candidates. The major goals of the program will be: (1) to recruit students of the highest quality, including underrepresented minorities;(2) to provide these trainees with a multidisciplinary background in the immunological sciences, coupled with intensive laboratory training in a particular research topic;(3) to teach the trainees how to ask relevant and feasible research questions;(4) to instill these trainees with a sense of ethical behavior;(5) to develop effective written and oral communication skills among the trainees, and (6) to facilitate collaborative interactions among both students and faculty of the ITP.
The immune response is critical for defense against pathogens and malignancies but an overexuberant response can lead to a range of autoimmune diseases. This program is intended to train the next generation of basic and translational investigators to develop novel treatments for immunologically based diseases and new strategies for vaccine development.

As experienced trial lawyers know, successfully trying or defending a case is all about presenting a compelling, understandable theme and narrative that comports with a judge and jury's common sense and experience.
Juries especially are prone to favor litigants and lawyers they like and case theories they easily understand. That is human nature on display in the courtroom.
Certain types of patent claim theories and defenses possess greater "narrative allure" than others. In patent litigation, the inventor's journey of discovery is often a key trial narrative, including a recitation of the trials and tribulations incurred on his or her way to obtaining an official U.S. patent—together with its certified seal and blue ribbon.
For those accused of infringing patents—whether through being named as a defendant or identified as a culprit in a cease-and-desist letter writing campaign—the best choice for a compelling defense story is often less apparent. Affirmative defenses, compulsory counterclaims or declaratory judgment causes of action are often asserted in blunderbuss fashion in order to preserve any and all claim or defense theories.
Patents and their dense, impenetrable prose and complicated technical and scientific jargon often make little sense to the uninitiated—i.e., to almost everyone other than inventors, patent prosecutors, expert witnesses, and patent litigators. Advances in cognitive science are now showing that jurors will seek to avoid the mental strain associated with deciphering difficult trial testimony and jargon, and will instead rely on simpler, preconceived notions of how businesses and their executives operate in rendering their jury verdict decisions.[1]
By virtue of its relative simplicity and the seeming ease by which it can be understood by a lay jury, a "Walker Process" antitrust claim offers an appealing defensive/offensive claim theory for alleged patent infringers. Named after a leading Supreme Court case[2] decided in 1965, a Walker Process claim stands for the proposition that "the enforcement of a patent procured by fraud on the Patent Office may be violative of § 2 of the Sherman Act provided that the other elements necessary to a § 2 [monopolization] claim are present."[3]
The financial incentives for pursuing a Walker process claim are quite significant: a prevailing litigant may be able to recover treble damages and attorneys' fees. These claims most often appear as a compulsory counterclaim to an allegation of patent infringement. However, they can also be asserted affirmatively, along with declaratory judgment claims for patent non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability.
The jury appeal and potential monetary rewards of a Walker Process claim also raise corollary patent legal malpractice risks for both parties. For the party prevailing on such a claim, the risks for the other side are obvious: a patent has been held unenforceable due to inequitable conduct and the client is facing a potentially huge monetary exposure or judgment for damages and the successful party's attorneys' fees and costs. Even if the Walker Process claim is ultimately unsuccessful, the losing party may argue that the patent counsel's prosecution conduct increased the litigation costs of enforcing a patent right and resulted in a weakened settlement position.
For the party who pursues and loses a Walker Process claim, the failure of the claim may well be due to an inability to meet one or more of the procedural and substantive requirements that accompany Walker Process claim litigation. For example, if the client is not properly advised about these detailed requirements, or if proof was not appropriately marshalled and applied to various Walker Process claim elements, the failed claim may also subject the patent litigator to unwelcome malpractice exposure.
This article discusses both the potential jury appeal of and corollary patent legal malpractice risks associated one of the most alluring claims in the patent litigation pantheon.
The Jury Appeal of a Walker Process Claim
The intuitive jury appeal of a Walker Process claims is easy to grasp. Patentees who sue others—especially competitors—based on patents that they know were fraudulently procured are readily perceived as "bad" actors and unworthy claimants. When heavy-handed enforcement tactics are piled on top of an already soiled patent grant, it becomes a simple matter for a jury to decide who should prevail in a lawsuit. An example of this jury decision-making in action is a recent jury verdict rendered in favor of a Walker Process claimant in Transweb v. 3M Jury Verdict.[4]
Two Federal Circuit cases involving food technology demonstrate the jury allure of Walker Process antitrust claims. For example, in Dippin' Dots, Inc. v. Mosey, 476 F.3d 1337 (Fed. Cir. 2007), the plaintiff owned a patent for the process of making a flash-frozen novelty ice cream product. The lawsuit began when several former licensed distributors severed their business ties and entered into competition with Dippin' Dots. The evidence introduced in the case showed that that the inventor had sold at least 800 customers a form of Dippin' Dots at a Festival Market mall over one year before applying for a patent—raising an on-sale invalidity bar under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b).
The Festival Market sales were neither mentioned during the USPTO's examination of the subject patent application nor identified by the inventor as information that might be relevant to the patentability of the invention. The inventor testified that these sales only practiced three out of six steps of the patented process; while the attorney prosecuting the patent application characterized the same sales as being "experimental," since the manufacturing process used to make Festival Market sales could not be feasibly exploited commercially.[5] The jury, however, found that both the inventor and patent attorney each had "with intent to deceive, made material misrepresentations or omissions in violation of the duty of candor to the PTO."[6] Although the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the Walker Process claim, it curiously awarded zero damages.
Similarly, in Unitherm Food Systems, Inc. v. Swift-Eckrich, Inc., 375 F.3d 1341 (Fed. Cir. 2004), the case involved a method for browning precooked meat products—a desired innovation for microwavable food products.[7] Unitherm manufactured ovens and created a process for browning precooked meats. ConAgra believed that the Unitherm process violated its patent rights and sent cease-and-desist letters to companies selling equipment for preparing and browning precooked meats and to its direct competitors, including Jennie-O (a division of Hormel). Jennie-O had previously installed Unitherm equipment in its operations.[8]
Unitherm and Jennie-O joined forces and brought declaratory judgment claims for patent invalidity and unenforceability of the subject patent and an affirmative Walker Process antitrust claim. The evidence developed through summary judgment proceedings showed that Unitherm had actually demonstrated its browning methods to ConAgra and others and sold "RapidFlow" ovens that utilized this browning process before the ConAgra patent application was filed. The undisputed evidence demonstrated that the Unitherm process included each and every limitation of the alleged patented process. In other words, ConAgra had tried to patent Unitherm's process. Based on these facts, the jury returned an $18 million verdict ($6 million trebled) in Unitherm's favor with its respect to its Walker Process antitrust claim.[9]
The Exacting Legal Hurdles in Advancing a Walker Process Claim
Despite the treble damage and attorneys' fees incentives associated with Walker Process claim recoveries and their potential narrative allure for juries, Walker Process claims face a plethora of procedural and substantive legal hurdles. While the rewards of a successful Walker Process claim can be great, its litigation pathway is full of minefields and craters. Here are some of the major hurdles.
Rule 11. The first hurdle is presented by Fed.R.Civ.P. 11. Walker Process claims include multiple elements, some of which are difficult to assess at the outset of a case. These elements must be supported by an adequate pre-suit filing investigation:
Misusing patent rights may constitute the "willful" or "predatory" conduct that renders a monopoly or an attempted monopoly illegal under § 2 of the Sherman Act. Litigation costs can constitute a cognizable antitrust injury, so long as the claimant also demonstrates a "serious threat to competition." See Rickards v. Canine Eye Registration Foundation, Inc. 783 F.2d 1329, 1336 (9th Cir. 1986).
Because facts that may demonstrate the patentee's fraudulent conduct are likely not publicly available or readily discoverable without access to the patentee's files and records, it may be difficult to allege a Walker Process antitrust claim without some pretrial discovery.
Rule 9(b). A second hurdle and pleading requirement will be Fed.R.Civ.P. 9(b), which requires that allegations of fraud be pled with particularity. However, a party need not plead the intent element of its Walker Process claim with particularity. Rather, the "circumstances" constituting the fraud must be alleged with specificity. See Competitive Techs. v. Fujitsu Ltd., 286 F.Supp.2d 1118, 1149 (N.D. Cal. 2003). Again, it may be difficult to meet this Rule 9(b) pleading burden until some discovery has taken place. Deadlines for amending pleadings can come up quickly in cases, so if a Walker Process claim appears potentially viable, it will be important to propound related discovery requests as soon as practicable.
Rule 12(b)(6). A third hurdle is the inevitable motion to dismiss a Walker Process claim for failure to state a claim pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P 12(b)(6). Federal courts impose a "plausibility" standard in determining whether a claim is supported by alleged facts, and not just conclusory allegations. Indeed, the first Supreme Court case to impose a plausibility requirement arose in the antitrust claim context. See Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007)(allegations of parallel conduct alone are not enough to sustain an antitrust conspiracy claim). This heightened pleading requirement has led to an upsurge in early motion to dismiss practice in all federal cases.
Rule 56. A fourth hurdle is summary judgment motion practice pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 56. The purpose of a summary judgment motion is to avoid unnecessary trials when there is no genuine dispute as to material facts, and the moving party can demonstrate that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. A claimant is not allowed to rest upon its allegations, but rather must set forth specific material, disputed facts that warrant trial resolution. Many Walker Process claims fall by the wayside during summary judgment proceedings.
A good example is found in the Federal Circuit's very recent IGT v. Alliance Gaming Corp. decision affirming the district court's summary judgment dismissal of a Walker Process claim.[10] The case involved patents applicable to a computerized "Wheel of Fortune" casino game popular in Las Vegas. The district court had determined that the subject patents were invalid as being obvious, setting the stage for a potentially viable Walker Process claim. However, the district court could not find sufficient proof that a relevant product market or submarket of gaming machines existed for monopolization purposes.
Because patent monopolization claims always require an analysis of the economic impact of the exclusionary rights associated with the patent, it normally will be essential to develop expert witness testimony to analyze and substantiate the market power of the subject patent right in a relevant product market.[11] This is because ownership of a patent in and of itself does not necessarily confer antitrust market power.
Appeal to the Specialized Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit represents a fifth hurdle in pursuing a Walker Process antitrust claim. Even assuming that this claim is tried successfully to a final judgment in federal district court, the Federal Circuit has exclusive appellate jurisdiction over Walker Process claims, including any that are filed as compulsory counterclaims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1). As a specialized court, the Federal Circuit tends to exhibit a pro-patent bias; in other words, Walker Process claims will be very closely scrutinized by an appellate body disinclined to favor these claims.[12]
Whether an underlying patent has been fraudulently obtained is controlled by Federal Circuit jurisprudence. Since the Walker Process claim is always premised on allegations of inequitable conduct before the USPTO, the accused infringer must prove that the patentee acted with the specific intent to deceive the USPTO. Further, inequitable conduct must be based on "but-for" materiality. For example, when an applicant fails to disclose prior art to the PTO, that prior art is but-for material if the USPTO would not have allowed a claim had it been aware of the undisclosed prior art. See Therasense, Inc. v. Becton, Dickinson and Co., 649 F.3d 1276 (Fed. Cir. 2011). However, the Federal Circuit also recognized an exception for "affirmative acts of egregious misconduct, such as the filing of an unmistakably false affidavit," for which but-for materiality need not be established. Id. at 1292 ("Although but-for materiality generally must be proved to satisfy the materiality prong of inequitable conduct, this court recognizes an exception in cases of affirmative egregious misconduct.").
The two food processing technology cases previously discussed illustrate the Federal Circuit's penchant for reversing Walker Process claim jury verdicts. In the Dippin' Dots case, the Federal Circuit opined that the applicant's failure to disclose facts that implicated the on-sale bar did not rise to the level of specific intent to deceive the USPTO. Id., 476 F.3d at 1347. In contrast, in the Unitherm case, the Federal Circuit held that the facts supported a specific intent to deceive the USPTO about the true inventorship of the patented process, but that the Walker Process claimant had failed to prove a relevant product market that had been monopolized. As mentioned, product markets are not necessarily coterminous with the scope of a patent right. Id., 375 F.3d at 1363-65. No material evidence had been submitted to demonstrate the presence or absence of viable economic substitutes for the food browning process at issue.
The Federal Circuit imposes exacting requirements on Walker Process claims in part because of its jurisprudential belief that an unenforceability remedy should dissuade patent applicants from engaging in inequitable conduct. Inequitable conduct with respect to any single patent claim renders an entire patent unenforceable. In the Therasense majority decision, this remedy is labeled as the "atomic bomb" of patent law.
Loss of Insurance Coverage for Walker Process-Related Malpractice Claims
To prevail on a Walker Process claim, the accused infringer, as discussed must prove that the patentee acted with the specific intent to deceive the USPTO. A finding that the misrepresentation or omission amounts to gross negligence or negligence under a "should have known" standard does not satisfy this intent requirement.
The problem with this strict formulation of the inequitable conduct standard lies with the roadblock it creates down the line in seeking insurance coverage for potential "Walker Process" legal malpractice claims. Since the inequitable conduct at issue must be intentional and deceitful by definition, insurers can be expected to deny any obligation to provide indemnity coverage for such claims. If the patent legal malpractice lawsuit follows a successful Walker Process verdict, the patent prosecution attorney–whose conduct forms the basis for Walker Process claim liability–will be fighting a proverbial uphill insurance coverage battle in any ensuing patent legal malpractice lawsuit.
To preserve coverage and a duty to defend, the involved patent prosecution counsel will need to demonstrate to the insurer that while the Walker Process claim alleges intentional conduct, the actual conduct at issue giving rise to the alleged Walker Process allegations involved negligent conduct, at most. Because of these and other complications, patent lawyers whose conduct is at issue in infringement litigation under the guise of a Walker Process claim should consult with their own counsel because of the conflict and schism than can emerge between the patent owner and its own and (perhaps now former) patent prosecution counsel.
The Wheel of Fortune casino game at issue in the IGT case is an apt metaphor for the chances of ultimate success in pursuing a Walker Process antitrust claim. The claim has tremendous jury appeal because it focuses on the personalities and actors and business motivations involved in the process of obtaining a patent, rather than the oftentimes dense technological subject matter of the invention.
If the Walker Process witnesses are not presentable and the patentee's enforcement conduct lacks valid patent justification, a jury will have company villains on which to focus in its search for narrative truth and coherence. Deciding who is good or bad is much easier for juries to evaluate than understanding mind-numbing technological jargon and prolix claim language. Jurors prefer stories that conform to their worldviews—and the Walker Process claim provides a juicy one of supposed greed and deception in order to game the patent system and obtain an unfair market advantage.
Win, lose or draw, the Walker Process claim may also generate an ill-wind of patent legal malpractice claims. The core of the claim is inequitable conduct. If that type of conduct is even colorably demonstrated or if a Walker Process claim is brought at great expense and fails to pass muster, one can expect a fair amount of Monday morning quarterbacking from peeved clients regarding the course of patent prosecution that undermined what appeared to be a viable patent infringement claim.
