What are some of the issues at stake in the Oil States case?
So what that will end up meaning is, 1 of 3 things could happen. One, the Supreme Court could say that [inter partes reviews, IPRs] are not constitutional, and that means that no one can use that way to challenge validity of a patent.

Third—what I think most people are predicting would be likely to happen—is that the Supreme Court would say, they’re constitutional, and perhaps limited in certain ways of executing them, or requiring procedural safeguards for when and how they’re used, but that they’re likely to be constitutional.
