The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought about an influx of patent related litigation. Experts postulate that both the financial pressures related to the pandemic and the increasing strength of the technology sector sparked this increase in litigation. Now, almost two years after the start of the pandemic, this surge continues and could be considered a new normal.
The automobile experience is undergoing drastic changes as improved safety, performance and entertainment options explode. Remember the jealousy of seeing your friend’s minivan with the DVD player?

As cars become “smarter” and collect more data from users, many fear our privacy will be infringed, which could lead to audits and litigation.
The semiconductor chip shortage is starting to be felt by consumers, from automobile parts to smart phones. This is likely to lead to a plethora of disputes and litigations in the coming years.
