| 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 Act’s delegation of law-enforcement and rulemaking power to the private Authority violates the Constitution’s private non-delegation doctrine? | 1. Whether the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process permits an agency official to materially revise investigative findings after the investigative process has concluded, direct adverse action based upon those revised findings, and then serve as final adjudicator of the employee's response to those revised findings? 2. Whether an appellate court may affirm rejection of a federal employee's due process claim by resolving a materially different legal question than the constitutional issue actually presented for review? |
| 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. | 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. | Diana Zuniga Kammunkun asks the Supreme Court to review whether the Department of Defense violated her Fifth Amendment due-process rights in handling an employment investigation and adverse action. The case is pending, and the Court has not yet decided the dispute. |
