On March 1, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc., No. 19-1458. The case presented two questions: (1) whether, for purposes of the Appointments Clause, administrative patent judges (APJs) are principal officers who must be appointed by the President with the Senate’s advice and consent, and (2) whether, if APJs are principal officers, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit cured the Appointments Clause defect in the statute by severing the application of 5 U.S.C. § 7513(a), the provision that restricted removal of APJs. Below is a brief summary of some of the high points of the day’s arguments.
