My first presentation about the creation of inter partes review was to a group of Stanford students in 2011. In that presentation, to the amusement of the class, I analogized IPRs to Dr. Seuss’ classic 1961 children’s book “The Sneetches” to explain the forces and conditions motivating the creation of the IPR regime. With the U.S. Supreme Court expected to issue its ruling any day in the Oil States case, it is an ideal time to revisit the Sneetches analogy to see if Dr. Seuss’ timeless wisdom sheds any light on the future of the IPR regime.
