This ABA publication, edited by Paul M. Rivard, surveys patent obviousness issues in view of the case KSR Int’l Co. v. Teleflex Inc.
Description of the Book
The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2007 KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc. brought about a significant change in patent law, specifically in the area of determining whether or not inventions are nonobvious, thus patentable. This book presents a review of how this issue, since that landmark decision, has been analyzed, applied, and considered by the International Trade Commission and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the district courts of the various regional circuits, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This source is equally helpful to the prosecutor, litigator, student, and the academic. As cases and decisions are analyzed from each jurisdiction, one can quickly identify relevant decisions and trends within particular jurisdictions to prepare accordingly.
