Web scraping case fails under Supreme Court's Dastar doctrine

There is none; the appeal is still open. You can check the status of the case on PACER – at least if you don't mind paying a few cents for every request due to the judiciary being stuck in the 90's:

(The case number is 17-16783.)

There was oral argument on March 15, and the 9th Circuit posts video recordings of all hearings on YouTube:

(I haven't watched it yet, so I don't know how it went.)

Since then, the only filings have been a few citations of supplemental authorities, the last one in June. If I'm not mistaken, the case is just waiting for the judge to write an opinion. According to the 9th Circuit's FAQ:

> 18. How long does it take from the time of argument to the time of decision?

> The Court has no time limit, but most cases are decided within 3 months to a year.

...It's currently been 8 months since the date of the argument, so hopefully that won't take too much longer.

That's what I thought... Most people assumed the verdict earlier this year was an automatic win, and they keep citing it. But it wasn't the final verdict, which is what I'm interested in. Hope it comes out soon.
