IPR: all eyes on the US Supreme Court

The saying “First it giveth, then it taketh away” is historically a misquotation of a biblical reference (Job 1:21) but has come to be understood to mean “the thing that gives can also take away.” This question of whether the entity that gives can also be the entity that takes away will be addressed by the US Supreme Court in the upcoming October 2017 term in connection with the Oil States Energy Services v Greene’s Energy Group case.
