Gunn v. Minton
United States Supreme Court
568 U.S. 251 (2013)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Minton (plaintiff) brought a malpractice action against Gunn (defendant), an attorney. Gunn had represented Minton in a federal patent-infringement action. Minton argued in his malpractice suit that his infringement claim had failed because Gunn failed to raise the experimental-use exception available under federal patent law. On appeal, the Texas Supreme Court found that the case should have been brought in federal court because Minton’s malpractice claim turned on a question of federal patent law.
