Morgan Lewis partner Hersh Mehta commented on an argument recently heard by the US Supreme Court, Thryv v Click-to-Call, in a World Intellectual Property Review article. “If SCOTUS affirms the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s decision, then at least patent owners could have an appellate avenue to challenge the PTAB’s time-bar determinations,” Hersh noted. “If SCOTUS reverses, then it will return to the status quo, ie, no appeals from institution-related determination.”
