You might recall that the American Law Institute is the association of judges, scholars, and attorneys that formulates the various Restatements of the Law. I have been curious why there is no Restatement of Patent Law — perhaps because there is a single intermediate appellate court. At any rate, given the turmoil associated with 35 U.S.C. §101, among other issues, a restatement might not be a bad idea.
I was curious which Federal Circuit judges are members of the ALI. It appears that Judges Bryson, Wallach, Dyk, and O’Malley are all members. Congratulations to Judges Dyk and O’Malley who became members in 2013.
