Welcome to Skilled in the Art. I’m Law.com IP reporter Scott Graham. It’s been a busy week on the IP front, so let’s get right to it. Qualcomm has fired its first shot at the FTC in the Ninth Circuit, Idenix looks to have an uphill battle for rescuing its $2.5 billion jury verdict against Gilead Sciences, and I’ve got a few parting thoughts on the Federal Circuit‘s latest cri de coeur on patent eligibility. As always, you are welcome to email me your own thoughts and follow me on Twitter.
