Book excerpt: An invention, to be patentable, must be novel, must have an inventive step and must be capable of being industrially applicable. A patentable invention must be much more than a mere workshop improvement and must be claimed in a manner that exhibits a departure from the claims made in the prior art. Thus, drafting the patent claims and their appropriate interpretation by the Courts play a crucial role in the grant of patent and litigating a suit for infringement. The outcome of a patent infringement suit depends upon judicial interpretation of the claims of the alleged infringers' product with that of the patentee to determine whether the former falls within the scope of the limitations of the latter. In case the same is proved, infringement stands proved beyond doubt. Conversely, in cases where the defendant makes use of the defence of invalidity against the said patent, the courts shall again determine the validity of the patent in question by construing the claims made in the said patent with those claimed in the prior art. Hence, the claim construction plays a crucial role in determining the validity of a patent and its continued existence. The Markman hearing is one such patent claim interpretation form that the courts generally employ in almost every patent infringement suit. It is a clear and doubtless understanding of the claim format that helps in understanding and successfully interpreting the claims, which mere 'training and discipline” of the judges can't give. In order to be successful, a Markman hearing claim construction must be conducted by the Jury or scientific advisers and experts, versed with the techno-legal terms of claims.

Book excerpt: Patent litigation poses a variety of challenges to the envisioned efficiency of trial. Such cases involve a high number of issues, unnecessary claim construction proceedings, difficulty interpreting the actual issues at play, and high-stakes for the parties involved. These parties (and in particular patent holders) are also encouraged by empirical trends in patent litigation to both seek jury trials and appeal after a verdict in a lower court. Generally, patent holders experience significantly more success with jury trials than a bench trial and that success rate is augmented by the fact that juries traditionally award much more in damages than a judge. Parties are also encouraged to appeal based on the Federal Circuit's reversal rate of approximately 80%. Problems stemming from the complexity and length of patent litigation are further exacerbated by the differential knowledge between counsel and the bench. The attorneys involved in the case are often experts in the subject matter of the patent because they hold a technical degree and/or their firm originally prosecuted the patent while the judge may have a limited technical background, if any at all.The present paper seeks to address these problems by better enabling the bench. I argue that judges need to be empowered with a better understanding of the specific issues in each patent case as early as possible. Once possessed of this knowledge, judges also need tools to place limitations on non-critical claims in a manner that does not raise, or can avert any constitutional problems. Furthermore, once the relevant claims are selected, the court should consider potentially dispositive issues early in the case through Markman hearings. In order to better manage complex patent litigation, where judges may have little technical training and the attorneys involved are often experts on the relevant subject matter, the district courts and Federal Circuit should formalize and rely on technical tutorials and claim limitation procedures that do not infringe upon constitutional rights so it is possible to conduct Markman hearings and settle potentially dispositive issues early in litigation. Finally, this paper argues all these judicial techniques should be utilized in conjunction with discovery reform, and in particular staging litigation.
