On March 1, 2021, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in United States v. Arthrex Inc. and consolidated cases, where the questions presented involve whether the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s administrative patent judges were unconstitutionally appointed, and if so, what the proper remedy would be.  These highly watched cases have significant potential ramifications for any company active in the patent space.
 
Williams & Connolly partners Sarah Harris and Luke McCloud will offer a CLE on March 5 covering everything you need to know about these cases:  What is at stake? How will the Supreme Court likely rule, and what hints did the Court offer at argument?  When will the Court likely rule?  

Sarah is a former clerk to Justice Thomas, with deep knowledge on separation-of-powers issues; she is one of the leaders of the Firm’s Supreme Court and Appellate Litigation practice, and argued an administrative-law case before the Supreme Court in November.  Luke is a former clerk to Justice Sotomayor and a partner in both the Supreme Court and Appellate and Patent Litigation practices.
