Yes, sorry. My goal was to lay out the parade of horribles on the other side of the case to illustrate why the question was being asked at all. You're right that IPR is judicially reviewable and I'd agree that my example would probably not hold up to review if clearly politically motivated and contrary to evidence. Someone who's worried about this might argue with you that to have a patent invalidated, then the invalidation subsequently overturned is not the same thing as not having a patent invalidated in the first place, if only in the eyes of the market. I don't think it's a meritless argument, though it's not one that sways me personally.
