Shukh v. Seagate Technology, LLC
Petition for certiorari denied on June 27, 2016
Issue: Whether the "automatic assignment" rule of FilmTec Corp. v. Allied Signal, Inc. should be overruled because it extinguishes inventors" constitutional and statutory rights to inventorship and ownership, especially in view of criticisms expressed by three Justices of this Court in Stanford University v. Roche Molecular Sys., Inc., and the reservation of that issue by the Court.
