Michael W. Connelly was quoted in the August 13 issue of IP Law360 in an article regarding a bill that fixes a constitutional flaw in the way patent appeals judges have been appointed for the last eight years by transferring the responsibility of appointing the judges from the USPTO director to the Secretary of Commerce. Mr. Connelly noted that the patents granted by patent appeals judges appointed in the last eight years may be challenged despite the significant costs associated with pursuing the issue. "Is anyone going to bother challenging it? That's a lot of time and effort. It's going to rely on one party having the wherewithal and fortitude to do it," he said.
