Professor Magliocca Talks about Patent Challenges with 'Indiana Lawyer'
12/15/2017
The United States Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could determine whether the inter partes review (IPR) process, which has been part of patent challenges since 2012, is allowed by federal law. Professor Gerard Magliocca talked about IPR for a story in Indiana Lawyer. The piece was published December 13.
IPR has been effective in eliminating the number of low-quality patents, Professor Magliocca said in the story, and in reducing the number of infringements cases from patent trolls. He does not believe that IPR can be viewed as a due process violation.
Professor Magliocca is a Samuel R. Rosen Professor of Law, and a noted expert in constitutional law. His latest book, The Heart of the Constitution: How the Bill of Rights Became the Bill of Rights, explores the untold story of the most celebrated part of the United States Constitution, exploring the history of how the first 10 constitutional amendments came to be known as the Bill of Rights. The work, published by Oxford University Press, is scheduled to be released December 19, 2017.
