One of the nation's top IP law scholars has switched sides in a Supreme Court case that could decide how patents are granted. Mark Lemley, a Stanford University professor, initially asked the high court to hear KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc. But last month, he filed a brief asking the Court to take no action in the case, which is scheduled for oral argument on Tuesday. It's extremely rare, say observers, for a practitioner to change positions in a high court case. Why did Lemley do it?
