PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC v. Patreon Inc.
Petition for certiorari denied on May 16, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit correctly interpreted
Kessler v. Eldred to create a freestanding preclusion doctrine that

Kessler doctrine to cases in which the prior judgment was a
voluntary dismissal. CVSG: 4/8/2022
