“… The danger inter partes review poses to patent holders increases volatility to numerous patent portfolios. Volatility in patent validity for patent holders motivated the current analysis. The first Part of this Article investigates the current laws that govern the application for an issuance of a US patent. The second Part additionally describes some of the natural law foundations for America’s intellectual property rights. The third Part of this Article discusses the Oil States decision and the corresponding dissent. The fourth Part evaluates whether the Oil States decision was improperly decided and ultimately suggests that Congress should overturn the decision by statutory amendment.”
