Intellectual Property Litigation associate Jasper L. Tran and Litigation & Arbitration associate Chloe Jasper co-authored the article, “Arthrex’s Aftermath,” commenting on the Supreme Court’s United States v. Arthrex ruling that PTAB judges are appointed as inferior Officers under the Appointments Clause but unconstitutionally acting like principal Officers.
Mr. Tran and Ms. Jasper discussed:
- Arthrex’s broader political and congressional impact ex ante
- Arthrex’s actual and practical aftermath ex post in the three months since its issuance, including an analysis of the 120 pending appeals at the Federal Circuit with a similar Appointments Clause challenge and the acting USPTO Director’s 15 director review denials
