Time Warner Cable, Inc., et al. v. Sprint Communications Company, L.P.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, No. 2017-2247 · judgment March 18, 2019


Certiorari denied · November 4, 2019
Pre-decision estimate: 5% cert probability (95% interval 3%–8%)

Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a Federal Circuit decision below, and down for a business respondent.
