On December 6, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a precedential opinion in PS Products Inc. v. Panther Trading Co. Inc. that appears to allow a district court to sanction under its inherent authority when the sanctionable conduct is arguably covered by a specific rule. The facts of the case are not helpful for the sanctioned parties, PSP, and likely led to this outcome.

Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.
