Chevron deference

Wednesday, January 17th, 2024

The Supreme Court of the United States heard oral argument today in two cases challenging the doctrine of Chevron deference.

I queried back in May of 2023 what would be the impact on patent law if Chevron deference is removed by the Court — and, in December of 2018 whether there should be a pro-inventor/pro-entrepreneur canon of construction when a patent statute is ambiguous.
