Will Oil States End IPR: A Mock Supreme Court Argument (November 14, 2017)

Does inter partes review—an adversarial process used by the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to analyze the validity of existing patents—violate the Constitution by extinguishing private property rights through a non-Article III forum without a jury?

The program will be presented as a two party argument before a panel of mock justices, and will address the following topics:

  • Does the AIA's IPR procedure violate Article 3?
  • Are patents public or private rights?
  • Does the AIA's IPR procedure violate the 7th Amendment?

If you are interested in participating as a litigator or judge in this mock trial, please contact Bowen Liu (liubowen82@gmail.com). This event is co-sponsored by Greenberg Traurig.
