Bankruptcy Court Decides Issue of First Impression Concerning Code Section 365(h)
When a debtor that is a landlord rejects a real property lease in bankruptcy, the tenant has a choice. Either the tenant can treat the lease as terminated or retain its rights under the lease. These rights include the use, possession, quiet enjoyment, subletting, and hypothecation of the property. In a recent case, the parties and the court grappled with this question: when does the tenant need to make that decision? When the lease is rejected, or by some other date? Interestingly, neither the court nor the parties found case law on this issue. It was one of first impression. In re All Star Props., LLC, No. 25-41314, 2026 Bankr. LEXIS 1461 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. June 15, 2026). The debtor owns...

Supreme Court Reaffirms Disgorgement in Sripetch, But Jury Question Looms
In our January 2026 post, Supreme Court to Clarify the SEC’s Disgorgement Powers, we previewed the Supreme Court’s decision to take up Sripetch v. Securities & Exchange Commission,[1] a case in which defendants sought to pare back the SEC’s authority to seek disgorgement. The case resolves a circuit split that arose in the wake of Liu v. SEC.[2]  In Liu, the Court sought to clarify the SEC’s ability to impose the penalty of disgorgement, ruling that disgorgement was available as equitable relief, but to avoid transforming an equitable remedy into a punitive one, “the remedy [is restricted] to an individual wrongdoer’s net profits to be awarded for victims.” In response to Liu’s requirement that disgorgement be “awarded for victims,” the Second Circuit...

Retention of Bankruptcy Professionals: Court Concludes that a Debtor’s First Cousin Is Not a “Relative” and Thus Not an “Insider”
A professional seeking to represent a debtor under Bankruptcy Code section 327(a) must not hold an interest adverse to the bankruptcy estate and must be disinterested. A debtor’s insiders often cannot satisfy these tests. The Bankruptcy Code defines “insider” to include a “relative” of the debtor. And a “relative” is someone related to the debtor “within the third degree as determined by the common law." What does this latter phrase mean and how is it applied? To continue reading Daniel A. Lowenthal's article in The Bankruptcy Strategist, please click here.

Rest Assured: Pillow Design Patent Survives Inventorship and Invalidity Challenges
On June 7, 2026, District Judge Brian Cogan (E.D.N.Y.) granted Plaintiff Hit Notion LLC’s (Hit Notion’s) summary judgment motion on patent inventorship, on-sale bar, and obviousness, denying a summary judgment motion by Defendant Digitalprints USA Corporation d/b/a Cheer Collection (Cheer Collection) for invalidity based on similar issues and indefiniteness. Hit Notion LLC v. Digitalprints USA Corp., No. 24-cv-7986, 2026 BL 219173 (E.D.N.Y. June 7, 2026). This dispute arose in March 2017 when the parties, both pillow retailers, requested custom pillow designs from the same Chinese pillow manufacturer, MJ Textile. MJ Textile sent the same photo of a sample pillow to both parties, and the parties unknowingly purchased and began selling similar pillows. Id. at *1-2. Hit Notion filed a patent application for...

Insider Trading Safeguards Can Mitigate Sports Betting Risk
From sports betting to prediction markets, the phenomenon some call "the casino-ification of America" has captured the American zeitgeist. Sports betting in particular has become ubiquitous since the U.S. Supreme Court's 2018 decision in Murphy v. NCAA, which opened the door for states to legalize sports gambling. Fans can now regularly bet on games and player performances directly from their smartphones. And, as several recent criminal indictments have alleged, some bettors are capitalizing on their access to inside information to obtain an unfair advantage on their wagers. This article will discuss how, because sports-related inside information continues to become more valuable, organizations including professional sports leagues, governing bodies, college athletic conferences, athletic departments and teams are playing an increasingly prominent role in...

Firm Secures Preliminary Injunction on Behalf of Eli Lilly in Prescription Rebate Fraud Litigation
On June 9, 2026, Patterson Belknap secured a preliminary injunction on behalf of the firm's client, Eli Lilly and Co. ("Eli Lilly"), in a litigation alleging that the defendants caused Eli Lilly to pay more than $200 million in fraudulent rebates.  The suit was brought against DrugPlace, Inc. ("DrugPlace") and several related entities and individuals in May 2026, alleging that the defendants claimed to have provided prescription drug coverage for tens of thousands of members of two national churches, but in fact neither the healthcare plans nor the patients existed. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida granted Eli Lilly's preliminary injunction, as agreed upon by DrugPlace and its related entities. The ruling restricts defendants from submitting rebate claims...

New Executive Order Regarding IRA Enhancements
Introduction On April 30, 2026, President Trump signed an Executive Order (the “Order”) designed to expand access to retirement savings for the tens of millions of American workers who currently lack employer-sponsored retirement plans, including many small-business employees, part-time workers, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals facing barriers to saving for retirement. The Order is designed to complement the Federal Saver's Match enacted under the SECURE 2.0 Act, which provides eligible workers with a federal matching contribution of up to $1,000 for retirement savings, and to promote high-quality, low-cost individual retirement account (“IRA”) access. Key Provisions and Implications The Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury (the “Secretary”) to establish, by January 1, 2027, an informational website (TrumpIRA.gov) that will serve as a...
