A quotation from Frederick Douglass

What, am I to argue that it is wrong to make men brutes, to rob them of their liberty, to work them without wages, to keep them ignorant of their relations to their fellow men, to beat them with sticks, to flay their flesh with the lash, to load their limbs with irons, to hunt them with dogs, to sell them at auction, to sunder their families, to knock out their teeth, to burn their flesh, to starve them into obedience and submission to their masters? Must I argue that a system thus marked with blood, and stained with pollution, is wrong? No! I will not. I have better employment for my time and strength, than such arguments would imply.

Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New York

If the gift plane from Qatar has no bugs, other surveillance, or covert transmitters, I will be very disappointed.

🚨Attention, attention!🚨 Breaking News: #Golf and #Rowing are, in fact, different #sports. 🤔 Who knew!? 🤦‍♂️ But fear not, this article bravely wades through the murky waters of #obviousness to remind us that hitting a stationary ball is not the same as propelling a boat. 🎯🚣‍♀️ Spoiler alert: one involves a lot of swinging and the other, a lot of...rowing. Mind blown. 💥

Once again, it seems like folks are madder at the Dems for not stopping Repubs from doing a terrible thing than they are at the Repubs for doing it.

I imagine lefties are pleased.

Federal Circuit grants rehearing en banc in LKQ v. GM:
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cafc.17834/gov.uscourts.cafc.17834.86.0.pdf

The court orders briefing (and seeks amici views) on various issues, including:

"Does KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398 (2007), overrule or abrogate In re Rosen, 673 F.2d 388 (CCPA 1982), and Durling v. Spectrum Furniture Co., Inc., 101 F.3d 100 (Fed. Cir. 1996)?"

I'll add that this continues a trend I've noticed where the Federal Circuit doesn't publish their § 103 decisions in design patent cases.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of it but it seems notable.

I've also noted that tension: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1926162

But I think the problem is not the Rosen requirement per se but rather the way the Federal Circuit has been applying it. See id.

The Rosen reference survives another day.

The Federal Circuit rejects LKQ's attack--for now--in a per curiam opinion, which totals 32 pages, counting the panel's opinion, additional views from Judge Lourie and a concurrance-in-part from Judge Stark: http://cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-orders/21-2348.OPINION.1-20-2023_2066528.pdf

Judge Stark notes (correctly) that "there is, at minimum, substantial tension between the Supreme Court’s holding in KSR and our Durling test."

The Federal Circuit has misapplied the Rosen "primary reference" requirement. But that doesn't mean we should throw it out entirely: https://patentlyo.com/patent/2022/12/defense-rosen-references.html
