On April 24, 2018, the Supreme Court released its highly anticipated decision in Oil States Energy Services, LLC v. Greene’s Energy Group, LLC (No. 16-712). In Oil States, the Court determined that inter partes reviews (IPR) do not violate Article III and the Seventh Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Court determined that “[i]nter partes review falls squarely within the public-rights doctrine,” and as public rights, Congress has “significant latitude to assign adjudication . . . to entities other than Article III courts.”
