Patent Review System Upheld by U.S. Supreme Court
While I agree with the decision, I developed a whole new respect for Gorsuch after reading his dissent. It was brilliantly written, clear, plain english and was an amazingly principled approach - i.e. he agreed that inter partes review was effective and convenient, but argues that convenience isn&#x27;t a measure of constitutionality. I also appreciated his arguments about the non-independence of the review board and the ability of the director to apply political bias&#x2F;policy to decisions (which has already been done multiple times). If it weren&#x27;t for the ability to appeal the board&#x27;s decision to a real court, even though I like the inter partes review process, I think I&#x27;d have to agree with Gorsuch on this one.
