When it comes to patent eligibility and statutory construction, does “any” really mean “any?” In the courts, is it permissible to limit statutorily-authorized patent term adjustment based on a doctrine that has no basis in statute? The debate surrounding these issues has only gotten livelier with recent Federal Circuit decisions and a bi-partisan patent eligibility bill working its way through Congress. With this backdrop, please join us for an exciting discussion about whether patent law has run afoul of the basic precepts of textualism and statutory construction, and what, if anything, should be done about it.
