- Saturday run — most courts do not issue opinions on weekends. Focus was on catching up with opinions from May 11-16 that prior runs may have missed.
- The iyO v. OpenAI IO trademark injunction (April 23) was identified as a gap in coverage and published today.
- Duplicate detection caught 2 attempts to re-publish existing cases (Actelion v. Mylan, ITC Infineon v. Innoscience).
- Multiple existing Infineon v. Innoscience posts (4 published variants) indicate a prior dedup issue — flagged for cleanup.
