On December 1, 2015, amendments to Rules 1, 4, 16, 26, 30, 31, 33, 34, 37, 55 and 84 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will become effective. These amendments were originally approved by the Judicial Conference in September 2014 and subsequently approved by the Supreme Court in April 2015. The amendments are notable for their changes to the discovery process and the potential to dramatically change pleading requirements, particularly in patent cases. This client update addresses the substantive revisions to the Rules.
