WINDOW 47: MELANNIE MONOCEROS (JANUARY 9 - FEBRUARY 8, 2020)

WINNIPEG’S ONLY 24 HOUR ARTIST-RUN CENTRE PRESENTS MELANNIE MONOCEROS

Location: Artspace Building, corner of Bannatyne @ Arthur [sidewalk level]

window is pleased to present our forty-seventh installation:

a n c e s t o r a d I o

Featuring work by melannie monoceros and curated by Adele Ruhdorfer, on view until February 8, 2020.

'a n c e s t o r a d i o' - is a 3 part series of short films using both analog and digital techniques, the seed of which iwas the discovery of a cassette featuring my mother and myself as a baby. It was recorded shortly before she died less than 2 years later. The first, "tuning the ocean", is an experimental animation on 16mm, navigating notions of water as a channel for cross/dimensional communication; the second "artifracture", is a narrative about trauma and place, focusing on a found kitchen object; the third, titled "remapping rosepathways" and still in development, explores weaving, process, and using the body as a tool for healing.

Overall the series is about grief and ancestorship, ghosts, and trying to listen for a sound (my mother's voice) that I didn't have a living memory of hearing until I first heard the tape.

-melannie monoceros

This installation is presented in conjunction with Gallery 1C03’s exhibition Yearning for Comfort, Not Cure, curated by Adele Ruhdorfer. Yearning for Comfort, Not Cure features work by six artists who explore their varied embodied experiences with disability, chronic illness, and madness, which are materialized and given form through the labour-intensive processes of performance, craft-based, and digital media. In addition to exploring the theme of complex embodiment, the artists deal more specifically with dis/comfort, chronicity and temporality, collage and fragmentation, familial histories, interdependence, sensory variance, and the compounding social effects that race and gender have on their bodies. Artists include Yvette Cenerini, Lux Habrich, Bram Keast, melannie monoceros, Laurence Philomène, and Jesse Turner. Yearning for Comfort, Not Cure is on view at Gallery 1C03 January 9 – February 8, 2020.

- Adele Ruhdorfer

About the artist:

melannie monoceros is a poet and artist exploring polysensory production through text/ile, performance, and installation. A Black and chronically ill creator, they are currently based in Treaty 1 /Winnipeg, MB; home of the Métis First Nation and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Dene, Cree, Dakota and Oji-Cree Nations. They have read and performed at Drop the Mic (Winnipeg, MB 2019), This is Not a Sentence (Paoli, IN 2018), Republic of Inclusion (Ottawa, ON 2017), and at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre (Toronto, ON 2016). monoceros is a VONA fellow (Berkeley, CA 2014) and has since been awarded grants from the Canada, Ontario, and Toronto Arts Councils. melannie has been a guest lecturer at Concordia University, Ontario College of Art and Design, Ryerson University, and Yukon College School of Visual Art. melannie’s writing has appeared in magazines such as THIS, Make/Shift, Shameless, and The Peak as well as the When Language Runs Dry zine. Most recently, melannie ‘s work has appeared at the Dunlop Art Gallery (Regina, SK) and MAWA/Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art (Winnipeg, MB). In 2019, melannie was awarded the JRG Emerging Artist Award for their continued pursuit, integrating technology and accessibility through film installation via their series “a n c e s t o r a d i o”.

About the curator:

Adele Ruhdorfer is currently in her final year of a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in Art History at The University of Winnipeg, where she’s focusing her research interests on applying critical feminist and disability frameworks to analyses of fine art and popular forms of visual culture. She is particularly interested in re-centring the politically-engaged embodied experiences of women, feminist, queer, and disabled artists, as they continue to be under-researched or, particularly in the case of chronic illnesses or disabilities, their positive connection to an artist’s creative process is overlooked. After graduating, she plans on pursuing a master’s degree in Cultural Studies, with the hopes of contributing to historical research, teaching, and curatorial practices.

window is located on Treaty 1 Territory, the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation. Window is co-curated by Noor Bhangu, Mariana Muñoz Gomez, and Sarah Nesbitt.

This installation was made possible in partnership with Gallery 1C03 for their exhibition, Yearning for Comfort, Not Cure (January 9 - February 8, 2020), and the generous support of the Winnipeg Arts council and Manitoba Arts Council.

Lex is For Life: A Closer Look at Local Alums

The first semester of the 2016-2017 school year is over. We’re already waving goodbye to #wluParents, #wluYAW, Thanksgiving break, and winter vacation in the rearview mirror. The year is going quickly, I don’t think it’s going to slow down any time soon.

So, a bit of advice from me--

If you’re a first-year:

Enjoy yourself and your time here! Embrace the knowledge that you have three more years left on campus before you too must boldly go where we all eventually (and reluctantly) go: the real world. Enjoy every second, and take advantage of all the awesome opportunities the university and the town afford undergrads such as yourself.

And, if you’re a senior:

Real life is swiftly approaching, and no matter how much you may want it, you can’t be an undergrad forever. Nothing gold can stay, Ponyboy, not even the golden years you spend in Lex Vegas.

*sigh*

However: DON’T PANIC! For 267 years, Washington and Lee has graduated students, and for 267 years, students have felt a similar reluctance to go forth and graduate. The passion students share for the town of Lexington is part of what makes our college years here so special, and many graduates have gone on to transform their passions into a career of making Lexington a better, more vibrant city.

Alums of all ages have found the perfect balance between a successful, fulfilling professional career and idyllic small town life in Lexington. A combination of exciting business opportunities, a nostalgic setting, and a welcoming community makes our city the perfect place to start a career or to begin your life’s second act.

Read on for future career inspiration, local businesses to check out, and affirmation that life only gets better after graduation.

Spencer McElroy graduated from Washington and Lee in 2009 with a degree in Physics, before completing three more semesters at UVA to finish his pre-med degree. As a student, Spencer was on the soccer team, was a member of the Williams Investment Society, played in multiple student bands, and was a member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. One of his coolest achievements as an undergrad was cofounding the Elysian Fields Music Festival in 2008 with two other W&L alums, Teddy Grover and Doug Zimmerman.

Spencer McElroy, ‘09

Today, Spencer is “the Executive Director of the non-profit Lime Kiln Arts, Inc. in Lexington, which operates Lime Kiln Theater. My responsibilities include artist booking, special events, venue management, grants, sponsorships, and all around business management.” In addition, he is active in real estate development in the area and the interim managing director for two Texas-based companies, Haugen Consulting and Haugen Software-- owners of both companies live here as well. He returned to Lexington from Charleston, SC in 2012 to renovate a foreclosure property on Lee Avenue, was offered the Lime Kiln opportunity nine months later, and has been in town ever since.

“I was determined to be my own boss, and the low cost-of-living coupled with entrepreneurial opportunities and my experience in the area made for the right blend. As more young people flock to cities, the contrarian view would suggest that opportunities for enterprising youth are on the rise in small town America. We've started to see quite a few examples of that here in Lexington.”

“Oh, and Lime Kiln is awesome.”- Spencer McElroy

It’s hard for Spencer to pin down any one experience as an undergrad that has helped him in his career today as he was a Physics major now involved in business. However, he says, “Physics teaches you a general strategy for solving problems that blends scientific logic, creativity, and instinct. I think that prepares you for just about anything.” Hunting and fishing were two of Spencer’s favorite hobbies as an undergrad, so his favorite places in Lexington haven’t changed much since. If you’re an alum (or a senior) thinking about heading back towards Lexington, Spencer encourages you “to pay attention to what makes this place so special. Most grads will be traveling for their lives and jobs in big cities, and they should look at Lexington through a new lens. Maybe there is opportunity for them here?”

Lime Kiln has finished their 2016 season, but they host events throughout the year, and the 2017 season is gearing up to be killer! Check out their website for more information.

Tom Lovell and his wife Wendy are both W&L alums, class of ‘90 and ‘91 (respectively). They originally lived out west, in San Diego, where they enjoyed the balmy winters and Mr. Lovell worked as a software developer for a military contracting firm. Once they began thinking about starting a family, they moved to Cleveland to be closer to family. In both Cleveland and San Diego, the Lovells were extremely involved in their local alumni chapters, going on to become co-presidents of both chapters. It was at an alumni event in February of 1995 that the opportunity to return to Lex presented itself-- changes at the alumni office meant there was an opening available! It was suggested that one of the Lovells take the position, and after laughing off the offer at first, after about a week they were ready to go for it. Mr. Lovell finally accepted the position at his Mrs. Lovell’s 10th Reunion.

When they moved to Lexington, there was no craft beer scene. What started as a casual guy’s beer club (where they spent more time brainstorming a name and logo than anything else) inspired a few home brewers, like Mr. Lovell and Bill Hamilton of the Bio Department, to try and get back into the game. This transformed into Blue Lab Brewery, with an official space finally opening the day before Thanksgiving in 2010. “Opening up your own bar in kind of the dream,” Mr. Lovell told me: so, he made it happen.

As Mr. Lovell had returned to his roots in Lexington, so too had the space he transformed into Blue Lab. The venue started as the town’s feed shop, before it became Estelle’s, a local spot where Gennies and Keydets could chill on the weekends and enjoy a steaming bowl of chili. It was sold in 1988, changed into a doctor’s office (the Lovell family pediatrician, in fact!) until 2010 when Blue Lab opened. For the last four years, they’ve been working on maximizing their space, hosting live music acts and local artists, and introducing weekly trivia. They have five regulars brews on tap and 10-12 seasonal brews. They’re still small enough to be able to mix it up, but big enough to make the whole venture worthwhile.

Blue Lab is located at 123 South Randolph Street. Stop by! (photo courtesy of beerwerkstrail.com)

The education Mr. Lovell received from the W&L business school has helped him since the day he graduated: critical thinking and mathematics will help you no matter what you choose to do in life. As a small business owner in town, Lovell continues to benefit from his proximity to both W&L and VMI. Journalism and marketing classes have worked with Blue Lab, and it’s fun to be available as a subject for education.

His best advice for young alums and graduating seniors is “to get engaged, use the network, and get to know professors, administrators, and classmates. Continue to be engaged after graduation, get into your local alumni chapter. Our alumni network cannot be beat. Take advantage of that. Jump in with both feet as early as you can take advantage of it—go to House Mountain, Devil’s Marble Yard, Goshen, and when you’re 21, come to Blue Lab.” People are the main component. The alumni network is how it all started for Mr. Lovell-- the same could be true for you!

Jamie Goodin is a name familiar to any die-hard fans of wluLex. He graduated in 2010 with a major in Business Administration, and as an undergrad he was “really into gigging (bands: Agent Flynn, Delicious on Purpose), and did marketing for Gay Straight Alliance, was on the wrestling team for a year, founded a Filmmaking Club/film festival called Invision Films, was involved in the marketing club, Ad Class, and SigEp fraternity.”

Jamie Goodin, a very busy individual!

Today, he is a man of many hats here in Lexington: He is the Digital Engagement Manger at W&L, managing wluLex & wluNews; the President and Marketing Director of Lime Kiln Theater, where he helps to revive Lexington as a hub for the arts and the outdoors; the President and Promotions & Events Chair of Main Street Lexington; a Consultant for JRG Solutions, where he does digital marketing and management consultant for small businesses; and a founder of LexCollective, which “helps make Lexington a baller place for millennials to ball by informing and empowering my peers to make Lexington THE place to live, work and create.”

Jamie returned to Lexington in 2012 after a few years of doing online marketing consulting in the DC metro area. He says “Lexington is perfect place because it is so accessible. The people, the resources, the arts, the businesses and nonprofits are all so willing to work with you and help build on a great community. It’s an amazing incubator for personal and professional growth in the context of a peaceful, beautiful and affordable town (that’s getting cooler to live in everyday).”

Jamie’s undergrad years at W&L taught him three important lessons that he has taken with him ever since:

1. Memorization is pointless as nothing is permanent.

2. Always challenge assumptions.

3. Encouraging experimentation, entrepreneurship, and failure is key.

Lexington has changed a lot since Jamie graduated (many changes thanks to his involvement!) but he embraces both the old and the new here. His two favorite things? “I love seeing my breath during cold morning walks in town while thinking about home, community and purpose. Also, Mano Taqueria’s beef burrito with Arbol sauce.”

If you’re coming back for a reunion, or getting ready to graduate, Jamie suggests you “walk downtown because there is so much more going on now—great food, live music and shopping. Walk on a mountain because there is so much that doesn’t need to change.”

Erik Jones, another 1991 graduate, was an English major who was involved in theater and a WLUR DJ during his time on the Hill. After graduation, he worked “for 20 years in arts administration in Portland, Oregon (my home town). I spent 10 years with the Oregon Symphony, and then 10 years as Marketing Director at Oregon Ballet Theatre. In between, I took a year off to travel the world.”

Mr. Jones moved back to Lexington in 2010 “for love (specifically to marry W&L Dance Professor Jenefer Davies)”. (sidebar: this was definitely my favorite answer to this question). Today, he is the Executive Director of Fine Arts In Rockbridge (a local arts umbrella organization). According to their website, it is an organization “committed to providing opportunities for all persons in the Rockbridge area to pursue their interests and develop their talents in the arts through quality educational and performance opportunities.” Mr. Jones also takes time to “study in the Craft Brewers Apprenticeship Program at the American Brewers Guild, (he is the assistant brewer at Blue Lab!) and also pick up occasional freelance gigs as a trekking guide (I spent 6 weeks in Nepal this year and am leading two Kilimanjaro climbs this coming spring).” Once again, I must say-- killer answer.

Mr. Jones says hanging around the theater as an undergrad definitely was one of the most formative experiences of his undergrad career. This was how he got his first post-grad employment opportunity managing the box office, from ex-Lenfest Center Director Mike Gorman. “I had no idea at the time that it would lead to a career in the arts. I’m also grateful to Professor Marshall Jarrett and my advisor, Professor Severn Duvall, for teaching me to challenge myself.”

Mr. Jones may have given up a “big” career in the arts to return to Lexington, but he has never regretted his decision for a second. In exchange for giving up his old career, Mr. Jones “got a new family, a lot less stress in my life, and the time and freedom to branch out and pursue additional interests. There’s no way I would have been able [study brewing or be a trekking guide] while working (more than) full time at the Ballet.”

Jones doing his thing on a recent trip to Nepal

Finally, Mr. Jones was able to offer some sage advice: “Cherish your time at W&L but don’t become one of those people who end up looking back at college as the highlight of their entire life. That’s depressing. Keep making new and even better memories.”

Rick Wolf, Class of 1977, never exactly intended to move back to Lexington, much less open up a local business. He began his career working at a small auction house in Philadelphia until he started his 25-year-long career working at Southeby’s in both New York City and Los Angeles. His wife Nan attended Hollins as an undergrad, so when it was time to move back East, the Shenandoah Valley was the logical place to start their search for a new city to call home.

Who wouldn’t want to call the valley home?? (courtesy of @lyssatest on instagram)

Both Mr. and Mrs. Wolf are avid collectors, and lovers of beautiful, interesting things. “It is quite difficult for either of us to see something we love and not try to buy it-- that’s why we finally opened up the shop. To get some things out of the house [laughs].” ‘The shop’ that they opened is Wolf and Co., an antiques shop on Washington Street that “offers an eclectic range of art, antiques, and unique finds, as well as expert appraisal and advisory services” (wolfandcompany.net). They are both also extremely involved in the Lexington Historical Society, thanks to which we can still enjoy many of the beautiful, historic buildings (such as the Alexander-Withrow House) in Lexington.

Wolf and Co. is located at 23 West Washington Street

As an undergrad, Mr. Wolf was one of the first people to ever see the bequest left to the school by the Reeves family, today available for all to view in the Reeves Center. Mr. Wolf had always had an interest in antiques, so when the school learned of the bequest, German professor Beauford (aka ‘Steve’) Stevenson, who also loved Chinese export porcelain, offered him a student job. For three dollars an hour, Mr. Wolf unpacked the collection, before the idea for the Reeves Center was even conceived.

Additionally, Mr. Wolf credits the direction his life took to “best teacher I ever had: Pam Simpson [of the Art History department]. She was the first female full professor, the first female dean, a chair of the Coeducation Committee, and just the best person ever.” He took every course she offered (even though he was an English major) and accidentally ended up with a double major in Art History and English—this eventually directed him into the auction business. Simpson became a wonderful friend of the Wolfs, and a major reason for their eventual relocation to Lexington.

The late Pam Simpson, a formative figure in the lives of the Wolfs as well as the history of Washington and Lee.

One piece of advice: Mr. Wolf is the first to acknowledge how trite it sounds (and made sure I knew that!) but he totally believes it: "If it’s possible—try to do something you love! Don’t be afraid if it takes a while to get there. You may not know immediately! Unless you have a passion for orthodontic surgery when you’re fifteen, its really not that easy.” When Mr. Wolf graduated, he had two vague interests: cooking and antique decorative arts, neither of which seemed like they would offer definite career paths. The auction business was the most convenient choice for him after graduation, but he transformed that “convenient” career into a lifetime passion.

Will Moore, class of 2009, graduated with a degree in Economics and a rich undergrad career spent “coaching the local youth lacrosse organization Lexington Lacrosse, raising funds for Habitat for Humanity, interacting with alumni as a member of Kathekon, and participating in the various activities of my fraternity Phi Delta Theta.” Additionally, he “was fortunate enough to enjoy a spring term and a summer semester studying abroad in Spain and London, respectively.”

Will Moore and his doggo in Lex

After graduation, Will worked in Boston at a private equity real estate fund called Landmark Partners, and in DC at CBRE in their financing group before that. He returned to Lexington is July of 2014 in order to work at the “family business, James Wm. Moore Real Estate Co., which my father started in 1988. In addition to managerial responsibilities, I represent buyers and sellers of all property types in western Virginia with a focus on land and farms.” A combination of self-employment and access to the great Virginia outdoors that made the move back worth it for Will; “Although I think it is essential to get the training and experience afforded by working for experienced professionals for a few years, there is nothing more rewarding than answering to yourself.”

Despite all of Will’s worldly travels, there really was no place like home when it came to his career. Will grew up in Rockbridge County, and ultimately his move back was a reflection of his ties to a community that he describes as extremely strong, and very passionate. “There is a high level of passion in this area for our community and it’s easy to find leadership opportunities. My first five years after W&L were spent focused almost exclusively on my career, but my move to Lexington was a reflection of my desire to achieve a long-term balance of work, life, and community. It’s almost impossible not to have a balanced life here.”

The quality of life here is unparalleled, as many of us have learned as undergrads and Will has experienced as a local alum. “Almost all of my hobbies take place outside and are easily and inexpensively accessible around Lexington: golf, hunting, fishing, and hiking to name a few. Access to the outdoors was a huge driver in my decision to move here. I also enjoy seeing live music and getting out of town to travel.”

A lovely day for fishing! (disclaimer: this is not Will! courtesy of @caretzloff on instagram)

Will credits much of his success, both personal and professional, to the Economics department that provided him with the “educational framework for thinking about issues far beyond the economy.” So- take some Econ classes (!) and make sure to keep in touch with your classmates. “Almost everyone that goes to W&L is an ambitious and interesting person, so your network is a great asset. Don’t be afraid to be the person that takes the initiative to stay in contact.”

“If I had to choose a favorite place, it would be House Mountain. It’s such a significant symbol for the area.” -Will Moore (photo courtesy of @samanthalnic on instagram).

Your days in Lexington don’t have to be numbered. Lexington is a town built to last, and ready to welcome back any future grads ready for their newest opportunity. So remember: Graduation, a job starting next September in Atlanta, or your eventual jet-setting career saving lives/brokering deals/changing the world can’t stop you from finding your way back home.

top 5 video games

OH man time to get schooled in some classic games. Its a long list with a lot of pictures. So like, Enjoy.

5.Pharaoh- The theme song is still fresh in my head. I sometimes hum it late at night as I remember all the fun I had on it. Many hours have been spent building my kingdom. SO many that I lost the disk and have no idea where it went. THANK GOD ITS ON STEAM NOW. (PS. You may never see me again)

4. Age of Empires 1 & 2- My siblings (and my dad) and I have a tradition that we do every christmas. We get together and have a 5 on 5 match in which we see who is the true emperor in this household. They still fear my war cry.

3. Legend of Zelda series- Been with it since OoT, Love Majora’s Mask, and in general no one does puzzles like legend of zelda does puzzles. Which is kind of a reason why I hate most action-roleplaying-games. Also every item has a purpose even if its small. They always have great visual designs.

2. Elderscrolls & Fallout Series- You Don’t put over 3000 hours into a series and not at least mention it. So much of my time has been playing games like Fallout 4, and Elderscrolls II: Daggerfall (I have a boat. I love that boat.). I loved skyrim. Even modded the heck out of it. Elderscrolls is a great game that lets you live a fantasy life as you like it. Fallout is a great game that lets you live a post-apocalyptic life- and rule a wasteland. I love it. I love them both.Now all bethsda needs to do is make a Space-Opera or a Fantasy-Noir game and my desire to live in other worlds will be complete.

HONORABLE MENTIONS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

Harvest moon Magical Melody

- Best Harvest Moon game ever. Anyone tells you otherwise they are wrong. (And I have played every single one religiously. this is the best. Has everything great about the original, but more customization, an un-intrusive story and a super cute art style. Also you can buy land and customize your town.

Stardew Valley- Great harvest moon clone.

Starbound- Played the earlyer version and they have changed a lot. So much that I don’t know how to feel about it. The story is a little in your face now. I liked it better when I could just say Fuck it and go to whatever planet I liked. but I still recommend. I put over 400 hours in this game and I loved every minute of it.

Silicon Valley(N64)- You play a little computer chip that crawls around kill robo-animals in order to possess their body and complete puzzles. ITS SUPER GLITCHY BUT SOOOO MUCH FUN. All they animals have cute powers and stuff.

The Longest Jouney, Dreamfall, and Chapters.- Great story, and chapters is a game of many paths. It’s Both a Sci-Fi and Fantasy game. It’s depiction of earth’s future is the most realistic depiction of earth. The fantasy world is truely fantastical. The puzzles in the games are fun and hularious, and tricky at the same time. The fanbase is also great! They even got together to pay for the last game “Dreamfall chapters” to be made, 8 years after the fact. This game is the embodiment of, “ It’s not the destination but the journey that matters.” The Journey is a long one, but you will enjoy all the people you meet and the stops along the way.

Elite Dangerous- Cause SPACEEEEEEEE! No really. This game may have problems. May not be easy to get into. The galaxy may be too freaken huge. But damn. When I cruise around stars, Feel the oppressive shadows of mega structures, fall over my tiny little ship. The sound it makes as I do an aileron roll into a starport. The alien hum of the engine when I make a jump through Witch space. This a future. This is a future I wish I could have been born into.

Not to mention we just had our first alien encounter. (this is gameplay footage. So this guy was pulled out of hyperspace by this thing, out of no where.) Yup 4 years and no player has ever seen an alien in the game. Till now. It’s the most terrifyingly beautiful thing in the world.Fantasy Life- It looks and plays like a studio ghibli fever dream and I love it.

Tales of Symphonia- My favorite JRG. I’ve played the rest in the series but Symphonia was just solid. Maybe I have a thing for two worlds games(cause dreamfall and symphonia share a lot of things) But this was just lots of fun! My game cube sadly died though, and my copy of the game has gone missing. I wish I could play it again. You know a not shitty port version.

L.A. Noir- Didn’t care too much about the main story. My love was for the cases. The small time things. Driving around and catching crooks. It didn’t matter what the bigger picture was. As my eye was always set on figuring out who the perp was. My favorite cases were everything before you get promoted to Vice. They were solid prime-time-tv-show cases. I am so surprised no ones seriously tried to make another Cop-video game. Like being an adventurer is the same as being a detective. Cases are Quests, and sometimes Quest don’t end the way you want them to.

Dishonored- Everything that I loved about thief 1,2 & 3 only better.

Beyond Good and Evil- IF YOU HAVEN’T PLAYED IT GO AND PLAY IT.

NOW FINALLY FOR MY #1

Prince of Persia Sands of Time-

It’s funny cause I never actually talk about it. heck I don’t even care too much about the story. Or the rest of the serise. I remember playing the original on my dad’s computer because he had an emulator. But it was the 3D one we had on the Gamecube that I loved. It was just so much fun to play. Slowing down and rewinding time are great mechanics and I’m cool with seeing them in other games. Not to mention the climbing walls, and solving puzzels and finding the secret water fountains.

Not to mention it was thanks to this series we got Assassin’s Creed. I may have fallen out of love with everything Ubisoft. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the good old days.

Equivalents at the Supreme Court

In a couple of 2019 decisions, the Federal Circuit appeared to expand-out the “merely tangential” exception to prosecution history estoppel. Those cases have now both been petitioned to the Supreme Court for review.

Hospira, Inc. v. Eli Lilly and Company, SCT Docket No. 19-1058. [Petition]

Whether a patentee may recapture subject matter via the doctrine of equivalents under the “tangential relation” exception by arguing that it surrendered more than it needed to during prosecution to avoid a prior art rejection, even if a claim could reasonably have been drafted that would literally have encompassed the alleged equivalent.

CJ CheilJedang Corp. v. International Trade Commission, SCT Docket No. 19-1062. [Petition]

Whether, to avoid prosecution history estoppel under Festo, “the rationale underlying the amendment” must be the rationale the patentee provided to the public at the time of the amendment.

The doctrine of equivalents [DoE] is fairly complicated by itself because of the element-by-element function-way-result test and the limit on vitiation of claim elements. DOE is further complicated by the prosecution history estoppel [PHE] that creates a presumption against equivalents associated with narrowing claim amendments made during prosecution for a “substantial reason related to patentability.” In Festo, the Supreme Court explained that courts should presume estoppel based upon a narrowing amendment. However, the patentee may avoid the estoppel by providing evidence that the “rationale underlying the [narrowing] amendment … bear[s] no more than a tangential relation to the equivalent in question.” Festo Corp. v. Shoketsu Kinzoku Kogyo Kabushiki Co., 535 U.S. 722, 740 (2002) (TAN). In prior posts, I called this expansion [DoE]; retraction [PHE]; re-expansion [TAN] process DoePHETAN. The complication comes from the courts who – as I previously explained “wanted to empower patentees with the doctrine of equivalents but then became afraid that they had gone too far” and perhaps given too much power to a jury.

The petitions here are powerful and their parallelism may create interest from the court. Unfortunately, neither call for simplifying this process but rather ask for more detailing — What is the meaning of “tangential?”; At point must the “rationale” be declared?

= = = =

Recent DOE Decisions from the District Courts: Steyr Arms, Inc. v. SIG Sauer, Inc., 17-CV-483-JD, 2020 WL 905534, at *4 (D.N.H. Feb. 25, 2020) (court rejects DoE claim because the accused “pin” was not sufficiently structurally similar to the claimed “bridge”).

Speedfit LLC v. Chapco Inc., 215CV1323PKCRLM, 2020 WL 758824, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Feb. 14, 2020) (patentee waived DoE claim after failing to include it in its pretrial infringement contentions).
