CALIFORNIA REPELS A PATENT SUIT WITH CLAIM OF SOVEREIGH IMMUNITY
CALFORNIA--In a Patent Suit brought against the State of Calfornia the Federal Circuit Affirms Calif.'s Immunity In Patent Suit after the state asserted its Eleventh Amendment Sovereign Immunity.
Amendment XI (1795) The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
The Eleventh Amendment was a response to the Supreme Court's unpopular decision in Chisholm v Georgia, in which the Court ordered Georgia to pay two South Carolina residents a debt the Court found was owed them. Georgia legislators were so outraged by the decision that the passed a law declaring that anyone who attempted to carrry out the Court's mandate would be hanged with benefit of clergy.
Read literally, the Eleventh Amendment places no limitations on the power of the judiciary to entertain suits brought by against a state by residents of that same state. Nonetheless, the Court in a controversial 1890 decision, Hans v Louisiana, concluded that the Eleventh Amendment was in fact a bar to to federal suits against a state by that state's own citizens. The Court reasoned that at the time of the amendment's ratification in 1798 that such a limitation was taken for granted. It is alleged that the Washington D.C. firm of Roylance, Abrams, Berdo and Goodman has also raised the defense of Sovereign Immunity to an OED Attorney Disciplinary Complaint that Leo Stoller had filed against the principles of the said firm.
