Adidas asks the Supreme Court whether it is proper for the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) to raise sua sponte new grounds of unpatentability against a substitute claim added during an inter partes review proceeding.The government, as a respondent in this case, argues that the PTAB can create its own reasons for rejecting newly-added claims so long as the patent owner is given sufficient notice and a chance to respond.
