Turns out all patent decisions since 2000 might be invalid. Patent judges have been appointed by an agency with no constitutional rights to do so. So, everything they’ve decided isn’t legally binding.
There’s going to be some bill passed by Congress to uphold these decisions. How many billions of dollars have traded hands since 2000 with respect to patent decisions?
On the other hand, maybe this will be what finally gets them to revisit the sorry state of the patent system in the US.
