Question presented

This petition presents the same question that the Court is considering in Oil States Energy Services, LLC v. Greene’s Energy Group, LLC, No. 16-712: Whether inter partes review—an adversarial process used by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to analyze the validity of existing patents—violates the Constitution by adjudicating and potentially extinguishing private property rights through a non-Article III forum without a jury.
