OT2017 #24: “Kudos To Whoever Did This”

This week, we come to you from Bank of America’s Legal Round Table conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. After sitting on a panel, we recruited two guest hosts for this episode:Roman Martinezof Latham & Watkins, andWilly Jayof Goodwin Procter.

The Supreme Court hasn’t given us much to talk about, but fortunately we held a couple of opinions for exactly this reason. We’ll get into the results in the patent-law cases ofOil States Energy Servicesv.Greenes Energy GroupandSAS Institute Inc.v.Iancu.

Finally, we’ll get a tiny peek into next season of First Mondays by going over some recent grants, including one interesting death-penalty case about the method of execution.
