Question presented
Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, of the United States Constitution grants Congress the power "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by "securing" for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." US Patent holders when they give forth their discoveries petitioner believes form a binding contract agreement with the U.S. Government and judiciary to "secure" their private property against infringement. In proceedings today lower courts are not helping to secure for inventors their patents which seriously conflicts with the spirit of the Patent Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 109). The questions presented are: Whether under rights given by Congress and contained in U.S. Constitution. Article I Section 8. Clause 8 to all U.S. patent holders for disclosure of invention on even a scintilla of evidence being shown of genuine dispute all courts must forward when requested proceedings to the trier of fact "a trial" otherwise the promise to secure for all inventors their personal property invention is broken by the U.S. Government? Should the U.S. Government compensate inventors when the judiciary have failed to help secure their issued patent, a promise contained in U.S. Constitution. Article I Section 8. Clause 8 is broken?
