    The US Supreme Court agreed on June 12 to decide whether a federal administrative process frequently used by technology companies to ward off patent infringement lawsuits violates the constitutional rights of patent owners.

    The justices agreed to hear an appeal by Houston-based oilfield services company Oil States International Inc of a lower court's ruling upholding a proceeding called inter partes review in which the US Patent and Trademark Office can cancel patents the agency previously granted.
