[E-trademarks] [Patentcenter] [Patentpractice] Chevron Has been overruled by the S.Ct.

Fri Jun 28 12:56:47 EDT 2024

Whew, that was a long read.

I EMPHATICALLY disagree that "This decision is a start towards a more
democratic government!!"  There are things to be said on both sides, but
that statement is pure ignorance.  Justice Kagan sums it up -- "A rule of
judicial humility gives way to a rule of judicial hubris."  Executive
branch bureaucrats have some political accountability, and work from
records that are thousands to hundreds of thousands of pages.  Judges
don't.  (Yesterday, Justice Alito in *Moyle* patted himself on the back for
mastering a record of 1300 pages and a couple hours of oral argument.  If
an agency had made a major decision on such a thin record, it'd be
arbitrary and capricious.)

On balance, I think Justice Kagan looked more carefully at the statutory
text and history, looked at a lot more of the practical consequences,
thought more carefully, and exercised more judgment.  Kagan notes how
Chevron has narrowed since its high-water mark in the late 1990s -- I
agree, back then, it was a real problem.  But it self-corrected.  (Her
explanation is darn close to my brief   https://ssrn.com/abstract=4520183
)  I suggest reading her dissent (starting at page 82) first, then read the
majority -- the majority's willful blindness is pretty apparent if you read
Kagan first.  (I did it the conventional way, but I was deeply steeped in
the case, so I could see my "magical thinking" flashers going off as I read
Roberts.  If you're not an administrative law expert, read Kagan first.)

There are two classes to whom *Loper Bright *will be genuinely beneficial.

First, litigators. Justice Roberts has really underestimated the amount of
uncertainty and re-litigation this is going to bring.

Second, patent and trademark lawyers.  The Patent Office is a special case
-- Congress gave the PTO and its senior executives motivations to cheat
that don't apply to any other part of the executive branch.  We need to
remember that the level of disrespect the PTO shows to the law is not
pervasive throughout the government.  No other agency has the same
incentives to tell the law to go to hell.

A couple people have asked me whether I think this affects the *Chestek*
case.  Maybe way at the margins, but I don't see anything direct.
