Return Mail recently filed its petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court, seeking a broader scope of patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. ยง 101. You may remember that Return Mail won its case before the Supreme Court a few years ago. Return Mail, Inc. v. United States Postal Service, 587 U.S. 618 (2019) (federal agencies are not "any person" under the AIA and therefore cannot challenge patents via IPR).
