Biden Nominee Tiffany Cunningham Tackles Tillis’ Questions on IP Issues at the CAFC

President Joe Biden’s nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), Tiffany Cunningham, yesterday submitted written responses to a series of questions for the record (QFRs) presented by Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), explaining her view on hot button issues like judicial activism, patent eligibility jurisprudence, the explosion of patent cases in the Western District of Texas, and forum shopping. Cunningham was announced as Biden’s nominee to the top IP court in March. She would replace Judge Evan J. Wallach, who announced earlier that month that he would retire from active service and assume senior status as of May 31, 2021.
