In this episode, Samantha Zyontz, postdoctoral research fellow in intellectual property at Stanford Law School and a fellow of the Stanford Center for Law and the Biosciences, discusses her new article Does Alice Target Patent Trolls?, coauthored with Mark Lemley. They argue that the Supreme Court’s 2014 patent-eligibility decision in Alice v. CLS Bank has had a mixed impact, including some surprising results. Dr. Zyontz explains that biotechnology and life science-related patents are more likely than software or IT-related patents to survive an Alice challenge in court litigation. However, it is individual inventors and inventor-started companies—not patent trolls—who are most likely to lose their patents. The full article has been accepted to the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies and is available on SSRN. Dr. Zyontz is on Twitter at @SZyontz.This episode was hosted by Saurabh Vishnubhakat, Professor in the School of Law and Professor in the Dwight Look College of Engineering at Texas A&amp;M University. Professor Vishnubhakat is on Twitter at @emptydoors.
