| Question presented | 1. Whether the PTO retains statutory authority to deny institution based on the “settled expectations” factor, where discretion is committed to the PTO and no statutory provision prohibits consideration of settled expectations. 2. Whether the “drastic and extraordinary” remedy of mandamus is appropriate where Google identifies no statutory text that has been violated and the Federal Circuit has held that an alternative vehicle—a notice-and-comment rulemaking challenge—remains available. | Whether the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause requires just compensation when a state agency sells the only feasible access to private property, rendering it landlocked and valueless? | Whether the Act’s delegation of law-enforcement and rulemaking power to the private Authority violates the Constitution’s private non-delegation doctrine? |
| Summary | Google asks the Court to review the Patent and Trademark Office’s policy of refusing to start certain inter partes reviews because a patent owner has “settled expectations” after the patent has been in force for six years. Google also challenges the Federal Circuit’s refusal to issue mandamus requiring the PTO to reconsider that policy. | This case concerns whether Nevada government entities must pay compensation after a state agency allegedly sold the only practical access route to the Harvey Trust’s property, leaving it landlocked and without value. The petition asks the Supreme Court to review the Nevada Supreme Court’s handling of the trust’s Fifth Amendment takings claim. | Oklahoma and other petitioners ask the Supreme Court to review the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act, which gives the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority significant rulemaking and enforcement duties over the horse-racing industry. They argue that Congress unconstitutionally gave governmental power to a private entity; the Sixth Circuit rejected that challenge. |
