The natlawreview.com article characterizes her activity as an IP (generic intellectual property) lawyer. The practice of patent law requires passing the patent bar exam, which in turn requires a degree in a hard science or engineering. I do not believe that Hillary is or ever was registered to practice patent law before the USPTO.
The cases referred to were trademark law, a variety of IP.

ROTFL. Kooks. What is meant by "hijacking patent law"? I ask rhetorically, I have no intention to engage in debate on the subject.
I will answer your rhetorical question to the best of my ability with the understanding that you will decline to reply, as is your choice.

From my reading, it seemed to me that the phrase in that source (probably written by a non lawyer) is intended to describe how patent law was manipulated and misused by the greedsters from the very beginnings of our republic, with people’s discoveries being “hijacked” by more powerful/moneyed people who could manipulate the laws to their own benefit and screw the ones who in fact came up with whatever the invention was.
I think the writer made a case for this unjust practice occurring at various times in our history, and I am convinced we see this practice today.
