EFF Advocates for Transparency in Patent Litigation in Texas

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is challenging the secrecy surrounding a patent case in the Eastern District of Texas. They argue that courts should not function as private forums, as they are public institutions.

This case underscores the critical importance of public access to legal proceedings, which is essential for maintaining accountability in the judicial system.

Students from NYU's Technology Law and Policy Clinic, Emily Ko and Zoe Lee, played a significant role in advocating for these transparency measures, highlighting the collaborative effort in legal advocacy.
