Last year, the Supreme Court heard two major cases on U.S. patent law and has now accepted two more for the upcoming year. Such a pattern is unique in the Court’s history; after the creation of Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) expressly for patent appeals in 1982, the Supreme Court has generally not intervened in patent issues. Why the sudden change of heart?
