Washington Times on Justice Gorsuch and PTAB. The Washington Times is a conservative newspaper in Washington, D.C., though still controlled by the Moonies. They have an article on Oil States, in which they focus on Justice Gorsuch, probably reflecting similar thoughts in conservative circles:
Justice Gorsuch during oral arguments made clear his Madisonian perspective on intellectual property, and stressed the fundamental point that property rights must continue in perpetuity until the judicial process intervenes -- not after an arbitrary review board evaluates it.
At one point, Justice Gorsuch weighed in on the basic point that patents, once granted, are the full possession of the inventor. His perspective recalls the Founding Fathers' perspective. Indeed, as Justice Gorsuch drove home: "This is not a new idea, that once it's granted, it's a private right belonging to the inventor."
Throughout oral arguments, Justice Gorsuch repeatedly pointed out that intellectual property is as deserving of legal protections (and legal certainty) as physical property, and he reiterated the slippery slope for all property rights if intellectual property rights are routinely abused because of PTAB?s agenda.
Justice Gorsuch appeared, at times, to win over other justices with his persuasive and straightforward point that intellectual property is a fundamental property right.
