#obviousness — Public Fediverse posts

🚨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. 💥

Voting against Democrats is voting for Republicans.

I just noticed that Republicans seem to be biased in favor of Republicans.

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)?"

The #Rosen reference requirement is good; the Federal Circuit has just applied it to strictly.

#DesignPatents #Obviousness #PatentFedi

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.

#DesignPatents #FederalCircuit #Rosen #Obviousness

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."

#DesignPatents #FederalCircuit #Rosen #Obviousness

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

In light of yesterday's arguments in LKQ v. GM, here are some of my thoughts on obviousness and design patents, including the (potential) value of the primary reference requirement: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1926162 #DesignPatents #Obviousness #LKQvGM
