VirnetX Inc. v. Mangrove Partners Master Fund, Ltd., et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, No. 2020-2271, 2020-2272

Certiorari denied · February 20, 2024
Pre-decision estimate: 6% cert probability (95% interval 3%–12%)

Before the decision, about 1.5× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition and a Federal Circuit decision below, and down for a business respondent.
