An appeals court has actually maintained the termination of a patent suit submitted versus Live Nation, Ticketmaster, law office Cowan, Liebowitz & Latman, the MLB, and others.
Live-Fi Technologies CEO Amy Weissbrod Gurvey sent that match to a California federal court in 2023, and following numerous weaves, a termination choice boiled down in 2025. Clocking in at almost 270 pages with displays– consisting of about 50 pages for the changed problem itself– the legal action covered more than a couple of bases.
Owing to the wide range of moving parts at hand, we’ll need to opt for a partial summary here. The short-ish variation is that the self-represented lawyer complainant has a “important patent portfolio … consisted of devices, approaches and screen analytics that reveal the basic important algorithms for ticketing management,” according to the 2023 action.
Letting Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong’s March 2025 partial-dismissal order take the wheel for a minute, Weissbrod Gurvey was formerly utilized by the previously mentioned Cowan.
Per the legal text, the company “consented to help” the complainant with electronic ticketing patent applications, gotten “access to” the person’s “secret information concerning her creations, contacts, and customers,” and after that ended her work.
“Contrary to its pledges, Cowan did not submit a correct patent application on Weissbrod’s behalf, and rather submitted faulty excerpts of an application and after that withdrew the faulty filings,” the judge summed up of the submitting celebration’s position.
The match implicated the accuseds not just of patent violation, however of copyright violation, unreasonable competitors, “and acts carried out in furtherance of a RICO patent scams conspiracy” that presumably avoided the complainant from getting a patent hearing for some 13 years.
Back to the appeals panel’s choice, 3 circuit judges verified the district court’s termination order on procedural premises.
“Ms. Gurvey not just stopped working to prompt react to the movements to dismiss within the default fourteen-day due date, however she stopped working to react after the district court provided her a prolonged extension,” the freshly released choice checks out.
“In her filings,” the file states, “Ms. Gurvey consistently highlights that she is a California lawyer in excellent standing. Her substantial lawsuits history in both this case and the associated New York cases shows that Ms. Gurvey is well familiarized with high court lawsuits. Her failure to react can not be credited to an oversight by an unskilled pro se litigant.”
Concerning these New York cases, Gurvey in 2024 took legal action against New York Governor Kathy Hochul and several others in what Judge Anne M. Nardacci referred to as the most recent in a line of “decades-long lawsuits efforts in both state and federal court.”
“Though it is challenging to speculate the specific nature of Plaintiff’s claims, freely interpreted,” Judge Nardacci continued, “the Amended Complaint declares that these patents ‘were utilized, contracted out, copied’ by the State of New York and its firms through its contracts and endeavors with numerous personal entities, and for that reason, New York officers infringed Plaintiff’s patent rights.”
Termination aside, the action’s docket stays active; Gurvey in late September sent a movement looking for Judge Nardacci’s “recusal and necessary vacatur of orders given that 2024-2026 based upon scams on the court.”
In addition, Gurvey in 2015 submitted a various grievance versus Live Nation and Ticketmaster in Washington, D.C. While the case was tossed in March 2026 “for failure to prosecute and failure to effectuate service,” its own docket stays active.
