    Oral Arguments, with Context

    Real court arguments, crisp audio, with context. Court recordings can be difficult to follow, and many suffer from poor audio quality. This podcast enhances the audio, provides a brief introduction to each case, and explains legal concepts that may be unfamiliar to some listeners. We hope these enhancements make oral argument recordings easier to understand, more accessible, and more enjoyable to listen to. Recordings come from the courts’ own public releases; Supreme Court timing is derived locally from the Court’s official transcript and audio.

    United States v. Joseph Perkins — 7th Cir. (Oct 6, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    We hear United States v. Joseph Perkins in the Seventh Circuit. Prosecutors described months of online exchanges with someone Perkins believed was a minor and plans for a sexual encounter. A jury convicted him, and the case has reached the court of appeals. One term to keep in mind is entrapment. That defense concerns government inducement and whether the defendant was already willing to commit the crime, independently of the government's intervention. Simply offering an ordinary opportunity to commit a crime is not enough. Here is the argument. United States v. Joseph Perkins (No. 25-2522) — U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, argued October 6, 2026.

    Dyer v. Green — 1st Cir. (Sep 15, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The First Circuit hears Dyer v. Green, a dispute over employees' retirement savings at 1A Auto. The company created an employee stock ownership plan, or ESOP, which holds company shares for its workers. The plan borrowed from the company to buy preferred stock, shares carrying a promised dividend. Homer Dyer, a plan participant, alleges that the plan paid extra for that dividend but lost the benefit when dividend payments were used to reduce the company's own contributions. He says employees should have received both the contributions and the dividends, leaving more shares or cash in their retirement accounts. He sued under the federal retirement-plan law known as ERISA. The district court dismissed his suit for lack of standing: it found that he had not adequately alleged a concrete personal injury. This appeal asks whether Dyer has pleaded a real financial loss that lets the case proceed. Dyer v. Green (No. 26-1010) — U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, argued September 15, 2026.

    Givn Goods, Inc. v. Squires — Fed. Cir. (Oct 7, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Federal Circuit hears Givn Goods versus Squires. Givn sells bottled drinking water under the registered name GIVN, pronounced “given.” IBMG sought federal registration of that same name for cosmetics and online beauty retail services. Givn opposed those applications, saying shoppers would mistakenly assume a common source. The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the Patent and Trademark Office’s trademark tribunal, dismissed both oppositions. Although the names were identical and Givn’s mark was distinctive, the Board found insufficient evidence connecting the products or their sales channels. Some of Givn’s evidence was excluded, including material submitted too late in the proceedings. Givn now appeals; the Patent and Trademark Office’s director is defending the decision. Section two-d of the Trademark Act bars registration when a proposed mark is likely to cause confusion with an existing protected mark. The du Pont factors are the considerations courts weigh, including the names, relatedness of products, where they are sold, and purchasers’ care. Identical names matter greatly, but the question is whether consumers would expect a common source, not simply whether the names match. You will hear a distinction between conceptual strength—how distinctive a name is—and commercial strength—how widely shoppers recognize it. An arbitrary mark uses an ordinary word unrelated to the product; a fanciful mark is an invented word. Givn will argue that identical, strong marks and inexpensive purchases required less proof connecting water and cosmetics, and that the Board applied the wrong legal standard. Giulio Yaquinto will represent the director, maintaining that the Board used the correct test and Givn failed to supply enough evidence. Legal questions receive fresh review, called de novo; factual findings receive substantial-evidence review, which asks whether a reasonable mind could accept the supporting evidence. Givn Goods, Inc. v. Squires (No. 25-1681) — U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, argued October 7, 2026.

    Brightex Bio-Photonics, LLC v. L'Oreal USA, Inc. — Fed. Cir. (Oct 7, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Federal Circuit hears Brightex Bio-Photonics versus L’Oréal USA. Brightex sued L’Oréal over a patent on computerized skin-treatment recommendations. The claimed method guides a user in photographing their face, measures skin features, compares them with population data, and recommends treatment for the most severe features. A California federal court dismissed the infringement claim at the pleading stage, before trial, finding the asserted patent claims ineligible for protection. Brightex is appealing that dismissal. Section 101 sets out the kinds of inventions eligible for patents, but courts exclude abstract ideas. Under the Supreme Court’s Alice test, courts ask whether a claim is directed to an abstract idea and, if so, whether its additional elements, alone or combined, supply an inventive concept rather than just implementing that idea on a computer. Brightex will argue that its photo guide and measurement process provide a specific technical improvement, and that disputed facts made dismissal premature. Ramsey Al-Salam will represent L’Oréal, which maintains that the patent merely automates conventional skin assessment using generic technology. Brightex Bio-Photonics, LLC v. L'Oreal USA, Inc.

    Noble Innovations NC LLC v. Colgate-Palmolive Company — Fed. Cir. (Oct 8, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Federal Circuit hears Noble Innovations versus Colgate-Palmolive. Noble holds a patent for a toothbrush with a recessed pocket for a toothpaste capsule and angled elements to hold it in place. Colgate challenged the patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The Board found the challenged patent claims obvious in light of older toothbrush designs, and Noble appealed. A patent claim sets out the features for which protection is sought; here, prior art means the earlier designs used to challenge those claims. Noble says straight cleaning bristles and angled capsule retainers are different features that those earlier designs do not supply together. Colgate says the Board properly interpreted the claims and had sufficient evidence for its findings. Joseph Zito will represent Noble. Noble Innovations NC LLC v.

    Drake v. Collins — Fed. Cir. (Oct 8, 2026) Oct 09, 2026

    The Federal Circuit hears Richard Drake's challenge to the denial of veterans' disability benefits. He attributes his bladder problems to catheterization during military service in nineteen sixty-six. The Board of Veterans' Appeals denied his claim, and the Veterans Court upheld that decision. Drake disputes how the VA developed medical evidence in his case. Section fifty-one oh-three A requires reasonable efforts to help claimants substantiate their claims, including a medical examination or opinion when needed to decide a disability-compensation claim. The Federal Circuit generally reviews legal questions in these appeals, not case-specific factual judgments. You will hear forfeiture: an argument may be lost if it was not raised in time.

    United States of America v. Salaman (Seguinot) — 2d Cir. (Oct 8, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Second Circuit considers whether Jesus Seguinot should be released while appealing his federal drug conviction. A Connecticut jury convicted him of conspiring to distribute fentanyl in twenty twenty-four. At trial, a hospitalized witness testified against him by video. Seguinot says that violated his Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses. The trial judge denied bail, citing concerns about Seguinot's Facebook posts. This hearing concerns release during the appeal, not a final ruling on the conviction. Federal law requires clear and convincing evidence that he is unlikely to flee or endanger others. His appeal must raise a substantial question that, if decided in his favor, would warrant reversal or a new trial; exceptional reasons must also justify release from otherwise mandatory detention.

    Repeat Precision, LLC v. DynaEnergetics Europe GmbH — Fed. Cir. (Oct 8, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Federal Circuit hears Repeat Precision versus DynaEnergetics, a patent dispute over disposable tools used to set plugs in oil and gas wells. Repeat sued, alleging that DynaEnergetics' MicroSet tool infringed a setting-tool patent. A Texas federal jury found no infringement in twenty twenty-three. Repeat is appealing that result. Patent claims define the invention's protected scope; claim construction is the judge's interpretation of those terms. Here, the dispute centers on a patent requirement involving attachment to a firing head. You will hear J M O L, meaning judgment as a matter of law: a ruling that a reasonable jury lacks a legally sufficient evidentiary basis for its decision. Dicta are judicial comments unnecessary to deciding an issue, rather than binding holdings. Repeat Precision, LLC v.

    Applied Predictive Technologies v. MarketDial — Fed. Cir. (Oct 8, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Federal Circuit hears Applied Predictive Technologies versus MarketDial, a dispute over legal fees between rival business-analytics companies. APT licenses Test and Learn, software for testing business initiatives. A former McKinsey consultant had obtained its confidential materials. APT sued MarketDial in twenty eighteen, alleging misuse of trade secrets. After years of discovery, the Utah district court ruled that APT had not adequately identified a legally protected trade secret. A prior appeal upheld that result. This argument concerns a separate order requiring APT to pay the defendants' legal fees. The judge found that APT had pursued the claims in bad faith to harm a competitor. APT disputes that finding. The federal Defend Trade Secrets Act and Utah's Uniform Trade Secrets Act permit fees for bad-faith claims. Under the test used here, an objectively specious claim looks plausible but lacks supporting evidence; subjective misconduct concerns an improper litigation motive. Losing alone is not enough. Counsel for APT will argue that continuing to investigate confidential files was reasonable, not bad faith. Applied Predictive Technologies v. MarketDial (No. 25-1713) — U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, argued October 8, 2026.

    United States v. Ellington — 2d Cir. (Oct 8, 2026) Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    The Second Circuit hears Curtis Ellington's appeal of a twenty-five-year prison sentence. The prosecution concerned enticing a minor into illegal sexual activity in Orange County, New York. Because he was required to register as a sex offender, he also faced an additional federal penalty. The enticement offense carried a ten-year minimum; the registration-related offense added ten years, to be served consecutively. That made twenty years the minimum combined prison term. The district court imposed twenty-five. The discussion turns on the parsimony clause: federal law requires a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to serve the purposes of sentencing. Procedural review examines how the judge reached and explained the sentence. Substantive review examines whether the punishment falls within the permissible range of sentencing decisions. Both involve deference to the sentencing judge, not simply choosing the prison term the appeals court would prefer. United States v.
