Download or read book Patent Wars written by Thomas F. Cotter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patents are ubiquitous in contemporary life. Practically everything we use incorporates one or more patented inventions, and recent years have witnessed epic disputes over such matters as the patenting of human genes, the control of smartphone design and technology, the marketing of patented drugs, and the conduct of "patent trolls" accused of generating revenue from nuisance litigation. But what exactly is a patent? Why do governments grant them? Can patents simultaneously encourage new invention, while limiting monopoly and other abuses? In Patent Wars, Thomas Cotter, one of America's leading patent law scholars, offers an accessible, lively, and up-to-date examination of the current state of patent law, showing how patents affect everything from the food we eat to the cars we drive to the devices that entertain and inform us. Beginning with a general overview of patent law and litigation, the book addresses such issues as the patentability of genes, medical procedures, software, and business methods; the impact of drug patents and international treaties on the price of health care; trolls; and the smartphone wars. Taking into account both the benefits and costs that patents impose on society, Cotter highlights the key issues in current debates and explores what still remains unknown about the effect of patents on innovation. An essential one-volume analysis of the topic, Patent Wars explains why patent laws exist in the first place and how we can make the system better.

Download or read book Clear But Unconvincing written by David O. Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Circuit's standard for proving invalidity of patent claims is clear. The Federal Circuit always requires clear and convincing evidence to prove that a patent claim is invalid. The rationale behind this standard, however, is unconvincing. There are significant reasons to believe that the Patent Office rarely considers the most relevant prior art and that, instead, alleged infringers often find prior art that is more relevant than the prior art considered by the Patent Office. It defies logic to apply the clear and convincing burden where the Patent Office considered only prior art that is less relevant than the prior art asserted in litigation. And while the Federal Circuit relies upon 35 U.S.C. § 282 as dictating the clear and convincing burden of proof, the statute includes no such burden. Indeed, every other circuit court of appeals has indicated that the statutory presumption of validity only requires a presumption that the Patent Office correctly ruled upon the evidence in front of it - not that the Patent Office considered the most relevant prior art or that it - illogically - correctly ruled upon evidence that it did not even consider. To encourage the disclosure of relevant prior art to the Patent Office, to increase patent quality, to ensure that patents serve their Constitutional purpose of rewarding inventors for disclosing discoveries, and to reduce transaction costs associated with ultimately invalid patents, the clear and convincing burden of proving invalidity should be replaced with a preponderance burden when litigation involves unconsidered, material prior art.
Download or read book The Burden of Establishing Patent Invalidity written by Etan Solomon Chatlynne and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The patent system needs to be improved, particularly with regard to minimizing the likelihood that undeserving patents are granted and asserted. Some have advised that this problem should be remedied by weakening the presumption of validity, suggesting that quot;there is no colorable defense for the status quo.quot; This Note suggests arguably colorable defenses for the status quo. First, modifications to the presumption of validity require due care because the presumption of validity is at the center of the carefully crafted patent bargain. Critics of the presumption and its application advocate change based on PTO deference but do not address the Supreme Court's remaining reasons for a heightened evidentiary standard. Such critiques are incomplete and do not exhibit due care. Second, the role of the presumption is not understood well enough to justify changing its evidentiary standards, especially considering that a comparative analysis of the Federal Circuit's and the regional circuits' differing applications might indicate whether different standards result in significantly different case outcomes. Third, the presumption should not be changed until the effects of the possibly forthcoming post-grant review procedures and post-KSR obviousness determinations are analyzed and understood. Modification of the presumption of validity could work at odds to post-grant review while post-KSR obviousness determinations may accomplish the key goals of presumption modification.

Book excerpt: Nearly half of all litigated patents are adjudged invalid. An analysis of federal court patent decisions issued in the last ten years reveals that those who challenge issued patent claims based on claims' alleged failure to comply with the written description requirement succeed more than 40% of the time. The fact that the federal courts so frequently overturn granted patents underscores that there is a disconnect between the way in which the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) evaluates the written description compliance of patent applications and the way in which issued patents are treated in litigation. The causes of this disconnect are at least twofold. First, the law of written description is ever-evolving, and there is still internal debate within the Federal Circuit regarding the scope and purpose of the requirement. Second, courts may encounter difficulty in properly applying the presumption of validity in the litigation context because the PTO need not necessarily explain how a given patent claim satisfied the written description requirement. Whatever the cause, this disconnect is a matter of importance to both patentees and to the public. The frequency with which the courts apply the written description requirement to overturn patents stands as a clear disincentive for firms to invest in patentable research that may benefit the public. Further, the frequent invalidation of patents on a ground - i.e., written description - that was necessarily evaluated by the PTO during prosecution suggests that the PTO's evaluation of patent applications is flawed. This paper analyzes this disconnect and proposes the solution of having patent applicants affirmatively identify during prosecution the written description support for their claims, in order to harmonize the application of the written description requirement at the PTO and in the courts. This solution empowers patent applicants and the PTO to collaborate on patents having claims that satisfy the written description requirement and are more likely to be upheld in litigation. In addition, the solution is consistent with the emerging behavioral economics/psychology approach of Sunstein, Thaler, Schwartz, and others.

Download or read book Do Patent Lawsuits Target Invalid Patents written by Michael Frakes and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One objective of the patent litigation system is to screen meritorious from non-meritorious patents and invalidate the latter. While much of this screening may occur at trial, some amount of targeting may take place at the time of the filing of the suit itself. In this chapter, we assess the targeting efficiency of the patent litigation system at this earlier filing stage. Should the system indeed screen at this stage, one would predict a higher likelihood of patent lawsuits among a set of patents with weaker underlying validity relative to a set of patents with stronger underlying validity. In prior work, we found that as examiners were given less time to review applications, they granted patents at higher rates, with the resulting marginal patents exhibiting greater markers of invalidity and attracting more litigation. An implication of these findings is that patents with more questionable validity -- due to the leniency of the examiner -- are indeed more likely to wind up in litigation, a finding supportive of filing-stage screening of meritorious claims. Our analysis in this book chapter attempts to generalize these prior findings to sources of examiner leniency beyond time constraints. More broadly, we characterize an examiner's leniency by their overall grant rate, taking advantage of the fact that applications are effectively randomized across examiners. Consistent with our prior findings, we find that lenient examiners are more likely, on average, to issue patents with markers suggestive of weaker underlying validity and that are more likely to attract litigation. Ultimately, our findings suggest that legally invalid patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office are substantially more likely to be the target of litigation relative to legally valid patents.
