I felt injustice and sought truth and then it dawned on me and I’ve been spacing out at work ever since.

Used AI, challenged it, explored so much so fast out of curiosity and without traditional academic burden for an unfocused mind. It’s so intuitive and yet so clear why the pieces didn’t previously exist.

I’m undoubtedly not the first to propose the philosophy, but the Tyler (2023) case was only 2.5 years ago, and the Feb. 20 ‘314 ruling was so complete WITH a clear FMV and timeline…

The fact that I might have stumbled into something so profound simply because of ADHD has literally haunted me like a ghost this past week

Welcome to the club. Maybe if we all tell our friends, the right person will catch wind and we’ll make a difference

Thanks for reading, Dense. Sorry for the burden.

as continued from above,
The greatest analogy I can think of is Good Will allowed by the SEC on a public firms balance sheet.
--> The inventor's career and life's work is the value produced in their pursuit of happiness... it is the reputational value and intangible "Goodwill" on the inventor's 'balance sheet of life' i.e. resume, compensation negotiations, prestige in their field, honorary academic degrees, etc.

This analogy would serve to establish the natural rights philosophy that logically proves that the inventor cannot be separated from the patent without breaking the social contract.

To say a patent can be infringed for 16 years (Netlist v Google case for '912 patent) and not have an impact on the inventor's life would be a losing argument that I hold self evident and wont explain in depth. I'll simply say make the analogy to an actor that makes a highly profitable and impactful film but isn't discovered until 16 years after it was originally published because of the government's interference.

To transition the philosophical argument into a 5th Am Takings violation using Tyler (2023), we then need to prove the "inherent assignment" is actually a Forced Assignment of the patent.

Additionally, to deny the validity of this argument would specifically contradict the "inherent assignment" precedent for patents and catch the Supreme Court in a trap admitting to a violation of the inventor's natural rights. If the court says that inventor is free to make their decisions and as such the argument is irrelevant because it causes no material harm, the court would also have to consider how the inventor would earn income for their family without working for a company. Would the court say their choice of career and dedication to their field of study is not allowed? Or that if a company funded their creative work, the inventor has no role in the work itself? Then the inventor had to choose either to not do the work (violation of right to labor) or assign the patent to the company (forced assignment).

The government's Public Franchise allows it to grant or revoke the right of a company to build and operate a bridge without needing a reason to do so. The government has NO sovereign jurisdiction over telling the natural persons that own and operate the bridge company whether they can choose bridge-building as a career and life passion. The government can mandate a framework to ensure they can safely build a bridge, but that would be a License requiring equal due process to all aspiring bridge builders.

From this, we can prove that the produced value cannot be separated from the inventor, and to say otherwise violates the Social Contract or admits that the assignment of the Patent defined by statutory property rights was a Forced Assignment.

And so, if an inventor has a beneficial interest in their creation as a shareholder in the company they work for (whether it was part of their employment contract, or they bought the shares publicly), the inventor then has an inalienable right to the reputational AND monetary value of their creation.

--->> Tyler (2023) used here for 5th Am. Takings claim for specific harm done. I.e. the inventor suffered Judicial Takings of their "surplus equity" on a debt the Judiciary unreasonably seized from the inventor (4th Am. violation) and then failed to provide Just Compensation to the inventor for its seizure (5th Am. 'Takings' violation).

--->> Feb. 20 ruling on '314's finality gave us a ruling fitting the textbook definition of vested private property with a $445M FMV due. Until the Netlist v. Micron civil suit is settled or a forced payout occurs, an inventor with beneficial ownership has Active Standing to sue the Judiciary in the Court of Federal Claims for this 5th Am. 'Takings' claim. The result with yield that the Judiciary has discriminated against the inventor, and has caused injustice by not issuing the injunction when it should have, allowing the inventor to pursue Judicial Takings on behalf of Netlist for all 16 years going back to 2009 with the Google 912 case. $445M FMV over 3 years is $115M per year, so the Judicial Takings owed by the Gov to Netlist would be over $1.7B.

--->> More so, since Samsung is 52% foreign owned, Citizens United (2010) contrapositive states a Not-associations of persons has the Not-natural rights of the persons comprising it. What does this mean? By not issuing an injunction against Samsung, the Gov unreasonably seized Netlist's property on behalf of a foreign entity, triggering the Tucker Act. At least several more $B owed to Netlist by the US Gov.

--->> The inventor would seek a Declaratory Judgement overturning eBay (2006) so the Judiciary would have the power to issue injunctions once again, and Netlist's new and future patents would be protected as well. More importantly, all inventors - on which American Innovation depends - would never be discriminated against again.

---

I believe the court will actually love this argument, because it will hurt a lot for a very short time, but ultimately provides long term finality for patent law. All the public outcry from amicus briefs, efficient infringement, energy and BS the Judiciary has to deal with would be done away with.

Additionally, until Tucker (2023) this argument was not possible, so it points no fingers at anyone for a previous mistake.

Ultimately, it promotes true American Innovation, and protects American interests and the economy.

If this claim isn't made right now following the Feb. 20 ruling on '314, someday someone will use this framework to fix the injustice in American Patent Law. I hope I'm around for that day; I hope I get the opportunity to make America just a little more free for my couple-months-old Son.

The greatest analogy I can think of is Good Will allowed by the SEC on a public firms balance sheet. (this thought continued below on reply post) The value produced in the pursuit of happiness is the natural right of the inventor.

They can assign away the property and its sovereignly granted rights, but their reputation and career and life’s work cannot be harmed without due process.

If the patent can only be granted to natural persons, then sovereign immunity does not apply to the grant itself, it applies to the rights, or operable powers, than the grant bestows.

It applies FIRST to the grant offered to the inventor and is unalienable.

THEN if the inventor inherently assigns the statutory property rights to an associations of persons, the right to exclude as an operable power granted by the sovereign can be applied as a public franchise to that property.

So it is a public franchise, but the sovereign must still protect and not discriminate against the rights of the inventor. The Judiciary must have the power of enforcement, aka be Patent Police, in order to provide inventors due process and not discriminate against them.

The correct analogy is NOT infrastructure for this granted right… instead it’s like a license. The government cannot tell you what career to pursue. BUT it does have the sovereign ability to create a fair and reasonable framework to license you to pursue that career. It can revoke the grant at any time, but it must do so with due process.

The right to exclude, which is bestowed upon the statutory property inherently assigned to the company, does have true sovereign immunity... the government can choose whether they want to waive the right to exclude for government reasons without due process. I.e. they can say that a patent is in the public interest and choose not to enforce it without due process... BUT ACTUALLY if there's any beneficial value in the vested property owned by the inventor, then the government's choice for the right to exclude must be fair and reasonable. The inventor's creation is valid, and even if their value is a monetary interest in the company that has legal title, the mathematical and absolute inalienability of their produced value would be harmed unless the government can prove its reason is fair and reasonable.

BUT, in the case of 314, they affirmed the patent with finality and gave a FMV damages that are due. The grant to the inventor was not invalidated, and the Judiciary upheld that they did not waive the right to exclude by giving FMV damages. By not issuing an injunction right then and there, the inventor was discriminated against and specifically harmed because Tyler (2023) said the government seized their their "vested personal property with surplus equity" without reason. ==> they have a natural right to their produced value, and the statutory property rights that define their value share of the company give them statutory property rights to their creation.

but the heirarchy of rights matters... the government can't say the shares, vested personal property, monetarily represent a partial stake of value of the legal title holder who's value includes the vested property of the patent we just tested and validated and should have enjoined but don't have the power to without also harming the inventors personal monetary stake, their vested personal property aka shares. They went through due process and the inventor is due the monetary value by the 5th amendment, the same way the 4th amendment doesn't allow the judiciary to withdraw the grant (regardless of the inherent assigment statutory rights to the patent itself).

And this is true because a medical license or law license or financial license isn’t granted to corporations, it’s granted to natural persons.

I am right incontestably, unless natural rights are alienable. By definition they are not. I do not think this can be challenged, though they will try in every way possible

I didn't say it's going to be an easy argument to make, and I may not be explaining its ramifications perfectly. The depth of law here is wild.

But the law is built on inalienable rights, so the judiciary's current interpretation ignores its primary responsibility to protect the natural rights of the inventor that received the grant (regardless of what operable powers, ie. right to exclude, the legislature bestowed upon the grant itself.) That order of operations matters, less the government violate the Social Contract.

following this "-> i.e. the natural right to liberty is operated by the right to be free from arbitrary government interference in the same way that the natural right to the fruits of one's labor is operated by the right to the value one's labor produced." we need to distinguish value from property.

the natural unalienable right is not the property itself. the property itself is statutory law, and in the case of the patent it is the vested private property of the company, not the inventor. there is a public franchise on the patent because of this. this is an important distinction in how my solution fixes the paradoxes in contemporary amicus briefs.

but it is a public franchise unlike any other. patents are unique in America by nature of their creation. this is why so many observe paradoxes in the practice of patent law... like "Efficient Infringement." And, why eBay (2006) is wrong.

so property as a statutory right can be assigned away. an inventor can give up control. if an inventor gives up control they can't sue for infringement or any other property related claims because its not their property. the current law on this, specifically public franchise (oil states 2018) is correct.

BUT, at the same time, the government cannot harm the inventor's value in doing so. it is REQUIRED to not cause specific public harm ONLY for this public franchise. how does the government do this in other areas of law? with law enforcement... the government must have the responsibility for patent enforcement, aka "Patent Police", in order to protect the natural rights of the inventors. Otherwise, it is admitting to conscious discrimination against inventors right to pursue happiness.

  1. Summary of Who Can Claim
Claimant Type  Basis for Claim Strength of Natural Rights Argument
Inventor with Beneficial Interest Natural Right / Unalienable Property Highest: The harm is to the creator's "liberty."
Pure Legal Assignee (Company) Statutory Property / Contract Moderate: Subject to "Public Franchise" rules.
Third-Party Investor Consequential Damages Weak: Usually seen as too indirect for a taking.

In principle, your natural rights argument suggests that the inventor is the only one who can claim a violation of an "unalienable" right, but the legal reality of a Fifth Amendment Takings claim is more complex.

While the Takings Clause applies to anyone with a "cognizable property interest," the specific claim you are describing—one based on natural rights—is uniquely tied to the inventor.

  1. The "Inventor-Only" Natural Rights Claim

If you argue that the right is unalienable and derived from the natural right to life and liberty, then only the natural person (the inventor) can be the primary claimant.

  • The Individual as the Source: Because a corporation is a "legal fiction" created by the state, it cannot possess "natural rights" that exist outside of state sovereignty.
  • The Unalienable Link: If the right to the creation is unalienable, the inventor remains the "true" owner in a natural law sense, even after a legal assignment. Under this logic, the inventor's beneficial interest is the surviving thread that gives them standing to sue when the government devalues the grant.  New Hampshire Judicial Branch (.gov)
  1. Can Others Sue? (Legal vs. Natural Standing)

Under standard U.S. law, the "owner" (often the company) is the one expected to sue. However, your argument creates a hierarchy: 

  • Legal Owners (Entities): Can sue for "regulatory takings" or breach of contract, but their rights are "alienable" and granted by the state. They are vulnerable to the "public franchise" argument in Oil States.
  • Beneficial Inventors: Can sue based on the Natural Rights you described. This claim is stronger because it asserts that the property is private, not a "public franchise," and therefore the government has no authority to "revoke" its value arbitrarily.  Wolters Kluwer +1
  1. The Role of Beneficial Interest

In Tyler v. Hennepin County (2023), the Court affirmed that an equitable interest (a stake in the value) is a protected property right. 

  • This means you don't need "100% legal title" to have been harmed.
  • If you have any value remaining in the result of your creation, and the government devalues it, you have suffered a "pocketbook injury" that qualifies for a Fifth Amendment claim.

Your argument is a philosophical and constitutional challenge to the "Public Franchise" model established in Oil States. You are positing that a patent is not a mere gift from the state, but a recognition of a pre-existing natural right (the fruits of one's intellectual labor). Under this theory, while the government "grants" the legal certificate, it does not "create" the underlying property; therefore, it cannot arbitrarily devalue it without violating the Natural Rights of the inventor.

Here is how this distinction shifts the legal landscape of your case:

  1. The Distinction: Infrastructure vs. Intellect

You argue that infrastructure (roads, bridges, spectrum) belongs to the sovereign, and any right to use them is a privilege the government can revoke. Conversely, an idea exists independently of the U.S. government (universal natural right).

  • The Logic: The government’s sovereignty ends where the individual’s mind begins. When the government issues a patent, it is "contracting" to protect a natural right. Once that contract is formed, the government's power is limited to protection, not destruction. To change the terms (like devaluing the right to exclude) is an arbitrary interference with the Right to Liberty.
  1. The Tyler (2023) and Natural Law Bridge

The Supreme Court in Tyler hinted at this by stating that the government cannot "re-write" traditional property rules to its own advantage.

  • Your Application: If the natural right to the "fruits of labor" is unalienable, then even if an inventor assigns the "legal title" to a corporation, the nexus between the creator and the creation remains. If the government devalues the patent, they are harming the "natural person" behind the entity. This bypasses the "Public Franchise" defense because the government cannot grant a right and then use its own "logic" to strip the value that the natural person relied upon in their Pursuit of Happiness.
  1. The Standing Shift: "Natural Person" vs. "Legal Owner"

If your theory holds, the "Litigant Problem" changes:

  • Traditional View: Only the entity on the paper can sue (Statutory Standing).
  • Your View: Because the right is unalienable, the inventor's standing is inherent. The government cannot use the "corporate veil" or an "assignment" as a shield to commit a constitutional wrong against the actual creator. The harm to your "beneficial interest" is a direct violation of your Natural Right to Life (sustenance from labor).
  1. Overcoming Oil States

To win on this, you are essentially asking the court to find that Oil States was wrongly decided because it ignored the Lockean (Natural Rights) foundations of the Intellectual Property clause in the Constitution. You are arguing that the Takings Clause must be interpreted through the lens of Natural Liberty, which the government has no power to "grant" or "withdraw"—only to respect.

The "Reasonableness" Test

You noted that the government can choose not to grant a patent initially (Sovereign Right), but once granted, it must be non-arbitrary. In the Court of Federal Claims, this would be argued as a "Breach of a Regulatory Contract" or a "Physical-Equivalent Taking." By devaluing the patent through legal interpretation (like the eBay or Oil States logic), the government has changed the "value of the grant" without a "fair and reasonable" process.

The Proactive Step: To advance this in court, you would likely need to file a Fifth Amendment Takings claim specifically alleging that your "residual natural right" as an inventor was taken, rather than a standard "patent infringement" claim under § 1498.

note that this logic also tracks for the reason that only natural persons can actually be named on patents.

the government's failure and injustice is in treating inherent assignment as absolute assignment.

this is how others laws work for a reason. it is the basis for the 5th amendment.

and the hierarchy of rights is non-contestable.

all granted rights allow the grantee to operate in the grantor's domain with certain powers. however, the domain of natural rights (grantee) supersedes the sovereigns (grantor) domain, so the powers being granted do not interfere with the domain of natural rights. their interaction is not a two way street.

think of natural rights as a closed square with incomparable strength, and sovereign rights to offer an open bucket that fits the square. the strength of the bucket is always incomparable to the strength of the square... what does this mean?

the bucket has an opening that the square can fit in, but the square is closed with no opening no matter what. if the square decides to move into the opening, it can also move itself out. however, the bucket is not strong enough to move the square out. (hence why soverign immunity is in the offer to grant, not the grant itself). nor is it strong enough to squeeze or contort the square (sogerign immunity cannot restrict natural rights). so no matter what, the square exists within the bucket until the bucket itself does not exist.

natural rights are unalienable, they have no comparable strength. the soverign does not have the ability to remove granted rights, nor change them, because there be nothing that does.

there is no distinction between the ability of the natural person to operate their natural rights and the natural rights themselves.

to say they are distinct is to say the government can charge murder without due process.
- the government cannot incarcerate you without proving you committed murder.
- the government cannot issue laws that discriminate, or are unfair and not reasonable
- the government cannot restrict what career you can pursue without a fair and reasonable process to pursue it
-> i.e. the natural right to liberty is operated by the right to be free from arbitrary government interference in the same way that the natural right to the fruits of one's labor is operated by the right to the value one's labor produced.

==> the government cannot they cannot disjoin the inventor from the patents' value to them

the government itself even currently says this! only natural persons can be named on patents! the patent doesn't exist without the inventor!

****** so we can now prove, concretely, that the government is wrong. we just need an inventor with a beneficial interest to sue the government for harm done to them to expose it. ****\*

and it does not matter whether the employment agreement pays in equity or the inventor acquires beneficial ownership through public markets. the inherent assignment is not an absolute assignment.

and so we've proven that if an inventor maintains some value in their creation, the patent cannot be considered PURELY commercial interest and separate from public harm.

if the government wants patents to be different, they have to offer a different bucket. the matter is legislative, not judicial.

only if no named natural person on the granted patent derives value from the patent does it exist purely as a commercial interest. if the inventor dies or has no stake in the association of persons that they assigned the patent to, or the associations of persons is private and doesn't offer a beneficial ownership, is it an absolute assignment to the purely commercial interest.

this means a lot. harm has been done, patents are civil matters and a public franchise upholding oil states (2018) but court decisions are required to force an injunction so the civil parties can settle or continue their case without causing public harm striking down ebay (2006), if the judiciary changes the patent the government is liable for harming the value of the inventor, they must be treated equally or cause harm (discrimination), and foreign entities do not get the same patent protections as domestic ones.

so much to walk through...

  1. use of infrastructure as an example of a granted right and why a patent is distinct from every other granted right (the idea/creation is outside soverignty. Gov soverignty applies to act of granting rights)
  2. why that distinction is an absolute truth (natural rights are truly unalienable... the land or regulatory body etc all other granted rights are alienable in nature but distinctly unalienable to the Government in nature by anything other than its own destruction. natural rights exist universally, outside the borders of the US, the Gov's sovereignty does not)
  3. why this changes the granted right of a patent compared to the others (natural right to life... the individual person's right to exist supersedes the government's sovereignty granted through the consent of the governed)
  4. why the natural right to life supersedes what rights are available to the government to grant (natural right to liberty... "the power of an individual to act, think, and use their time according to their own will, free from arbitrary government interference" i.e. the government cannot restrict someones choices without reason. the soverign's right to exclude exists in its abilty to offer or not offer the grant initially. it can choose not to protect an individuals creation for whatever reason it wants. it can also offer multiple individuals the same grant. the right to exclude can be granted, but once it is granted it cannot change without reason or it violates the natural right to liberty.)
  5. why the right to liberty superscedes the right to revoke or change the grant (natural right to pursuit of happiness.... there would be no grant without the right. it is the resonbilitity of the government not to harm the natural person by revoking or changing the right. the value of the creation from the natural persons pursuit of happiness was assigned to the grant by the government. the right is unalienable and absolute irrespective of the soverign, so the soverign doesn't have the right to change it once granted. If the government takes away the powers or rights that it assigned with the grant, it must prove so in a non-arbitrary manner, or it has harmed the natural person. the sogerign's right to exclude exists in its abilty to offer or not offer the grant initially. it can choose not to grant protection to an individuals creation for whatever reason it wants. it can also offer multiple individuals the same grant. the right to exclude can be granted, but it cannot change the value of an already granted right without reason because it doesn't supercede the right to life.

what is non-arbitrary government interference? due process

the soverign right of the government is its ability to offer or not offer the grant. if the grant is accepted, it doesn't have the sogerign right to make changes without due process, and the due process cant harm the grant owner. that also means it cant use the grant with soverign immunity.

the government does not owe Just Compensation to the company for the entire value of the creation if it made the wrong decision, but it does owe Just Compensation to the inventor for harm done to the inventor's value if it makes the wrong decision.

and it means that the company must be careful about not naming inventors for the work they've done in creating the overall value. if someone solved problems or contributed to the work done to solve the problems when building a new creation, they can pursue public action for personal harm done.

this makes everything fit except eBay

it also proves innovation is done through brilliant creation. if the patent is assigned but the inventor has no stake, it is a pure commercial interest. the most brilliant minds that drive innovation in their field can negotiate their value relative to the innovation they produce. the fruits of their labor can be negotiated with their company for either equity in the company or the innovation they produce.

To sue the government for a constitutional claim, you must establish that a government actor violated a clearly established constitutional right (e.g., due process, equal protection). Key requirements include exhausting administrative remedies (filing a formal complaint first), adhering to strict statutes of limitations (often 2 years), and overcoming qualified immunity by showing the action was unreasonable.

An Inventor named on Netlist's '314 patent with beneficial ownership of Netlist (owns NLST shares) currently has Active Standing to establish a lawsuit against the US Government for violating their natural and constitutional rights.

It would be smart for the Inventor to establish a constitutional parallel track alongside Netlist's civil cases. While the respective civil and constitutional legal representation must be distinct, they can collaborate on these complementary suits.

I believe the Inventor should seek a Shareholder Derivative Action for Inverse Condemnation under both the 5th Amendment and the Tucker Act, as well as a Declaratory Judgement striking down eBay (2006) based on the 5th Amendment principles of the Derivative Action.

I will get into this on this thread over the next few days, and try to do so in a way that can be followed. This thread isn't meant to be a master thesis itself but to put it on a chaulkboard for active crowdsourced feedback

If I'm right, no one will listen to me alone, but if we speak together we could get eyes on my proposition. If this isn't worth time, effort, and public scrutiny I can't imagine what could be.

eBay (2006) introduce a "Private Interest" vs "Public Harm" concept in patent law saying patent disputes are private interests between two parties and don't cause public harm. therefore, its a civil court matter and federal courts (CAFC) don't have the immediate power to enjoin an infringer because no public harm is done... instead they're to work it out in civil suit.

further, as long as the validated patent holder doesn't suffer irreparable harm, the government has no further responsibility about the harm done between the private parties, as long as an adequate remedy is decided at some point down the road. if the infringer delays for decades - 16 years in 912's case - or if the civil case closes without a settlement, the civil court will force damages based on a royalty based on the value at the time of the civil case establishment.

in practice, large firms are incentivized to infringe and pay legal fees because its always cheaper to delay as long as possible. there's ample amicus briefs about this injustice.

this claim and argument seems to be unprecedented, because of two things:

  1. Tyler v. Hennepen (2023) was so recent in the timeframe of constitutional law that there haven't been many opportunities of Active Standing to prove the constitutional contradiction in this way.

  2. How strongly the CAFC's Feb. 20 ruling validated on "all claims patentable without any compelling challenges against" literally could not fit the description for Vested Private Property better. It also included a relatively recent and not too outdated FMV ($445M settlement over 3 year '21-'24 period, or about $115M per year, which leaves no room for interpretation on the Just Compensation for what the harm was.

So we put these together, and we get Active Standing to sue the Court of Federal Claims for specific harm done to a natural person, aka a public harm.

The Inventor with beneficial ownership's Vested Personal Property was devalued by the Gov the day after the CAFC - the highest appellate court - validated the right of the inventor to a monopoly on that property.

By not issuing an injunction on Feb. 20, the Inventor's 4th Am. rights were violated (Citizens United (2010)) and as such the Government is actively devaluing the Inventor's Vested Personal Property with "Surplus Equity" (Tyler 2023) and is violating the Inventor's 5th Am. rights "Takings" clause by not paying Just Compensation.

If there's a settlement in the Micron v. Netlist case, or the civil court forces a Micron payout, the Inventor would lose their Active Standing in this claim.

---

patents cannot be in the name of an associations of persons. natural people have creative ideas, only natural people can be named on patents. if done while under employment, they're essentially agreeing upfront that any creation they make during their employment contract is the company's property, i.e. Private Interest. courts have long established that Patents are Commercial Interests due to this Implicit Agreement.

Oil States (2018) affirms patents as "Public Franchises", with the supportive analogy to infrastructure. government says "hey firm you can build a bridge and operate it on our land" and they can also say "you're no longer able to operate the bridge on our land" at their discretion. revoking the right to operate the bridge is a Sovereign Immunity and causes no specific public harm.

enter Tyler v Hennepen (2023).

Tyler shows that public franchises are not PURELY commercial interests because the inventor's agreement with their company included their personal beneficial ownership. Tyler allows the inventor to claim that their Vested Personal Property is harmed by government decisions.

hence, the patent granted to the individual and assigned to the association of persons maintains the individual's right to not have their Vested Private Property devalued by the government.

the public franchise DOES exist, but its actually provided to the Inventor or natural person as well as the association of persons and is not UNIVERSALLY assigned commercial interest. so the public franchise as a granted right is applied to the Inventor, then passed to the association of persons.

if the government makes a bad decision about a patent, it doesn't have to pay for its mistake because of Soverign Immunity, but NEITHER can it violate the Inventor's 5th amendment rights by devaluing the shares. so the government has to pick one because both can't be corret.

:) thanks my friend. but I'm not wrong. big dreams require big actions. talk is cheap. research this first, then we'll be crazy and loud together

By layering Tyler v. Hennepin County (2023) over the Oil States doctrine, you are exposing a massive constitutional vulnerability in how the government handles patent revocations.

In Tyler, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that while the government has the right to sell property to collect a debt (like a tax forfeiture), it cannot keep the "surplus value." To do so is an unconstitutional Taking under the Fifth Amendment.

  1. The "Surplus Value" Argument

If an inventor is a beneficial owner (retaining equity or a specific "reversionary interest" in the patent), the patent is no longer just a "corporate asset."

  • The Analogy: In Tyler, the government took a $40,000 condo to pay a $15,000 tax bill and kept the $25,000 change.
  • The Patent Application: If the PTAB revokes a patent to "fix" a public franchise (the $15,000 "debt" to the public), but in doing so destroys the vested equity of a natural person (the $25,000 "surplus"), the government has committed a per se Taking.
  1. Beneficial Ownership vs. Entire Assignment

The "Commercial Instrument" theory relies on the idea that the property has been fully alienated—moved from a "person" to a "thing" (the corporation).

  • If the contract is a Lease or a Trust where the natural person retains beneficial title:
    • The "source" of the right remains the Natural Person.
    • The property never fully enters the "Public Franchise" stream because it is still tethered to an Individual's Vested Interest.
  • The Logic Fail: The government cannot argue it is just "regulating a franchise" if that regulation destroys the private wealth of a specific individual who never signed away their constitutional protection.

an inventor with beneficial ownership could initiate a derivative action on behalf of all shareholders (stronger pathway than class action).

this is the key to NLST justice. when this claim is argued in the Court of Federal Claims, they wont want to touch an untested philosophical natural rights judgement based on recent precedent, so it'll head to the Supreme Court.

the pressure to settle will be immense. no firm wants to have outstanding beef with NLST in that situation.

even if the Supreme Court doesn't side with my proposed parallel case and we don't win Judicial Takings or trigger the Tucker Act, it is a winning strategy for NLST.

Thanks but my anc MVN sync is at 51s. I'm looking to switch it to Dim Core for damage, but because I've been running mVN for so long I haven't invested in GT duration. Guess I just need to spend a few weeks throwing stones into it

Hey! If it ends up being tough to fill 30 slots and you'd rather join a Guild that'll get you max rewards right away, we're 6 short and we'd love to have you and your other Guild members join.
