"The justices were particularly concerned about incidents in which the PTO director admittedly “stacked” the panels of particular cases in an effort to control the outcome of those cases – Roberts and Justice Neil Gorsuch both criticized that practice."

That type of inequality should make the judges think.... however they may not think twice about it.

The current political environment, (e.g the above)...of the USPTO,  make patents worthless.

I know, that I would never launch a business based on patent grants that can be taken away under the above scenario or the IPR process. It's a big enough gamble to launch a business never mind having to deal with the USPTO under their current rule... in my opinion under the current environment there will be a prolonged affect that will stifle business in this country big time.

Brings to mind, why did Michelle Lee resign?
