   The Third Circuit delivered bad news to Dr. Robert Mauthe while he was   
   making his latest litigation round through the appellate court. The   
   case is Mauthe v. Millennium Health LLC, No. 20-2265, 2023   
   U.S. App. LEXIS 1267 (3rd Cir. Jan. 19, 2023) and was filed after the   
   defendant, a company operating labs that provide drug testing and   
   medication monitoring services, allegedly sent Dr. Mauthe (a customer)   
   a one-page fax about a free educational seminar.   
      
   The free seminar would "highlight national trends in opioid misuse and   
   abuse...and discuss the role of medication monitoring as a valuable   
   tool that provides objective, actionable information during the care   
   of injured workers." Millennium Health, 2023 U.S. App. LEXIS 1267 at   
   *2. The fax did not discuss specific services offered by the defendant   
   or include pricing information, discount offers, coupons, or product   
   images. Nor did the actual seminar promote goods, services, or   
   property for sale. The sender also did not follow up with registrants   
   or attendees. Nonetheless, Dr. Mauthe sued under the TCPA's fax   
   provisions claiming the fax was an unsolicited advertisement.
