Cooper v. Lee
Petition for certiorari denied on October 11, 2016
Issue: Whether 35 U.S.C. ยง 318(b) violates Article III of the Constitution, to the extent that it empowers an executive agency tribunal to assert judicial power canceling private property rights among private parties embroiled in a private federal dispute of a type known in the common law courts of 1789, rather than merely issue an advisory opinion as an adjunct to a trial court.
