John Paul Stevens: Assessing the Departing Justice's IP Legacy
,----[ Quote ]
| We've been doing a little thinking about
| outgoing Justice John Paul Stevens and what
| his legacy will be when it comes to
| intellectual property. Patent lawyers will
| surely remember Stevens as one of the
| justices who, along with justices Breyer
| and Souter, signed a strongly-worded
| dissent in the LabCorp v. Metabolite case.
| Because it was dismissed due to a
| technicality in the lower courts, LabCorp
| had no impact on the law, but the dissent
| showed that Stevens was one of at least
| three justices keen to rein in the extent
| of patentable subject matter. If, as many
| expect, the forthcoming Bilski decision
| places even greater limits on the patent
| system, it's likely that Stevens will have
| a hand in that.
