Security People, Inc. v. Iancu, No. 19-2118 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 20, 2020)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Security People, Inc. , appeals the district court’s dis- missal of its Administrative Procedure Act suit challenging the constitutionality of the cancellation of its patent in an inter partes review proceeding. Because Congress fore- closed the possibility of collateral APA review of inter partes review decisions by district courts, and because Se- curity People cannot bring an APA challenge when the statutory scheme separately establishes an adequate rem- edy in a court for its constitutional challenge, we affirm the district court’s dismissal.
