Download or read book A Treatise on the Law of Patents for Useful Inventions as Enacted and Administered in the United States of America written by George Ticknor Curtis and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprint of the fourth and final edition of one of the earliest American treatises on the subject. The Anglo-American tradition of granting patents has often been marked by confusion over their scope and intent. Reflecting, for example, on the fundamental question of whether patents create monopolies, juridical commentators and the bench had come down firmly both in favor and against the idea. Curtis argued that it did not according to the common law. Instead, a patent was a "grant by the government to the author of a new and useful invention, of the exclusive right, for a term of years, of practising that invention" (xxi). Better known for his Federalist interpretation of the Constitution, Curtis [1812-1894] was prominent New York patent attorney and the author of works on admiralty and equity jurisprudence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invention Analysis and Claiming presents a comprehensive approach to analyzing inventions and capturing them in a sophisticated set of patent claims. A central theme is the importance of using the problem-solution paradigm to identify the "inventive concept" before the claim-drafting begins. The book's teachings are grounded in "old school" principles of patent practice that, before now, have been learned only on the job from supervisors and mentors.

Download or read book Interpreting Patent Claims The United States Germany and Japan written by Toshiko Takenaka and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 1995-10-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patents have become a vital tool in the international exploitation of advancing technologies. There is no issue of greater significance to patent law than the interpretation of claims, since these measure the scope of protection granted. This study analyzes patent claim interpretation in three leading jurisdictions, the United States, Germany and Japan. Starting from well-established concepts such as literal infringement, the doctrine of equivalents and prosecution history estoppel, the author demonstrates significant differences in their application by reference to case examples. These differences are explained in historical and policy terms. The need for a clear-cut, harmonized standard of claim interpretation throughout the world is urgent. As an aid towards that goal, the final chapter of this study contains a proposal for aligning still divergent legal principles. Interpreting Patent Claims takes its place alongside two other studies of related aspects of patent rights in the IIC Studies Series: Benyamini's Patent Infringement in the European Community (Vol. 13, 1993) and Gilat's Experimental Use and Patents (Vol. 16, 1995). Together these objective and informed discussion form an essential contribution to debates on central issues of intellectual property law and policy.

Download or read book A Patent System for the 21st Century written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates. A Patent System for the 21st Century urges creation of a mechanism for post-grant challenges to newly issued patents, reinvigoration of the non-obviousness standard to quality for a patent, strengthening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, simplified and less costly litigation, harmonization of the U.S., European, and Japanese examination process, and protection of some research from patent infringement liability.
Download or read book Rethinking Patent Law written by Robin Feldman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific and technological innovations are forcing patent law into the spotlight and revealing its many glaring inadequacies. Take, for example, the patent case that almost shut down the BlackBerry, or the growing phenomenon of patent trolling, in which patents are acquired for the sole purpose of entrapping companies whose products relate to them. And patents on genes have everyone up in arms—and our courts confused. Robin Feldman explains why patents are causing so much trouble. The problem lies in our assumption that patents set clear boundaries for rights to an invention. In reality, they do no such thing. The very nature of inventions makes them impossible to describe unambiguously for all time. When something is so new that we do not understand yet how it works, what it is capable of doing, or how it could be applied—as is often the case in biotechnology—description is necessarily slippery. Instead of hoping for clear boundaries, and moaning when we don’t get them, Rethinking Patent Law urges lawmakers to focus on what the law can do well: craft rules that anticipate the bargaining that will occur as rights unfold. By steering clear of laws that distort the bargaining process, lawmakers can help courts answer difficult questions, such as whether genes, software, and business methods constitute patentable subject matter, whether patents in the life sciences should control inventions that have yet to be discovered, and how to resolve the battles between pharmaceutical companies and generics.
