*''United States v. Arthrex'', 141 S. Ct. 1970, 1988 (2021) ("The Constitution therefore forbids the enforcement of statutory restrictions on the Director that insulate the decisions of APJs from his direction and supervision.") - see concurrence (and partial dissent) by Justice Gorsuch.
 
*''Cuozzo Speed Techs. v. Lee'', 579 U.S. 261, 276, 136 S. Ct. 2131, 2142 (2016) ("The statute, however, contains a provision that grants the Patent Office authority to issue “regulations . . . establishing and governing inter partes review under this chapter.” 35 U.S.C. §316(a)(4). The Court of Appeals held that this statute gives the Patent Office the legal authority to issue its broadest reasonable construction regulation.
