The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Private Right or Public Right? Preview of Oil States at the U.S. Supreme Court" on September 14, 2017 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). William Jay of Goodwin Procter LLP, Prof. Adam Mossoff of George Mason University, and Kent Richland, Greines of Martin, Stein & Richland LLP will offer a uniquely informed and balanced discussion of the Oil States case. The panel includes a patent professor who is strongly identified through his writing and research with the argument that patents are private rights; a top Supreme Court litigator who recently argued on behalf of an IPR petitioner in a recent petition for cert. (that was denied) that the validity of a patent concerns a public right that can be cancelled by the agency that erroneously granted the patent; and an appellate lawyer who argued a 2011 Supreme Court case, Stern v. Marshall, that concerned the constitutionality of adjudicating matters outside of Article III courts and resulted in a major disruption of bankruptcy courts.
The registration fee for the webinar is $135 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
