Drafting Claims That Will Be Infringed

When you draft claims, what are you thinking about? Our clients want us to focus on covering their invention, but we know that a patent creates a negative right. It doesn't give your client the right to practice its invention, only to exclude others. In one school of thought, clients want patents that protect their businesses, this means using patents to keep competitors away from our clients' patent properties. This discusses ways of drafting claims that maximize the chances of covering competitors; that are difficult to design around.

Challenges to Obviousness Type Double Patenting, Including patents with PTE or PTA

Obviousness‑type double patenting is a judicial creation designed to preclude improper time extension of patent rights by proscribing the issuance of claims in a second patent that are directed to subject matter that is “different but not patentably distinct from the subject matter claimed in the prior patent.” But there must be some clear evidence to establish why the invention's variation in the second patent or application would have been obvious. This presentation discusses responding to OTDP rejections, as well as the implications when the patent in question has PTE or PTA.

Very Hot Topics in Design Patents

There are two major questions of first impression pending before the Federal Circuit. Design patent scope has been turned on its head by In re: Surgisil, greatly affecting not only patentability but infringement analysis (Columbia v. Serius). Regarding obviousness, the Federal Circuit in LKQ v. GM is grappling with the unresolved issue of whether KSR applies to design patents, potentially overturning years of case law.
