Notable decisions included a significant win for class-action defendants (Microsoft Inc. v. Baker), precedent-setting action on patent exhaustion (Impression Products v. Lexmark International), and a definition of the limitations on the Securities and Exchange Commission's disgorgement powers (Kokesh v. SEC).
