Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a high impact, low profile, nonpartisan government institution located across the street from the White House. Imagine that it plays a central role in shaping our technology industries, in overseeing globalization, and in holding the federal government responsible for its commercial activities. Imagine that only Congress and the Supreme Court can correct its mistakes. Such an institution exists. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit was born in the early 1980s as part of the drive to liberalize and reinvigorate the American economy. Over the past twenty-five years, it has earned its nickname as the 'patent court' by revolutionizing American patent law, but it also oversees international trade law and government business law. Taken together, its docket covers the rules guiding innovation, globalization, and much of government. Are these rules impelling the economy forward or holding it back? Are the policies we have the policies we want? How are we faring, as the economy transitions from the industrial age to the information age? What responsibility does the Federal Circuit bear in shaping America's current economic policies in these three critical areas? The Secret Circuit demystifies this Court's work and answers these questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Circuit is an innovation. Created by Congress in 1982 as a way to centralize intermediate appellate jurisdiction in patent cases, the court was expected to create a unified body of patent precedents that would be developed by judges having some substantial degree of experience and expertise in the field. That goal has largely been achieved, though there remains a lively debate as to whether Congress should have aimed for a somewhat different goal. Yet even where innovations are successful in achieving their original goals, they often produce unintended consequences. So too for the Federal Circuit. The innovative jurisdictional structure of the new appellate court has fostered a unique relationship between the Federal Circuit and the Solicitor General's Office and has, in a subtle but meaningful way, shifted power over the development of patent law from the judicial to the executive branch of government. This Article will document that transfer of power and will consider whether that shift in power should be welcomed or feared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of constitutional law, we invariably think of the United States Supreme Court and the federal court system. Yet much of our constitutional law is not made at the federal level. In 51 Imperfect Solutions, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting individual liberties. The book tells four stories that arise in four different areas of constitutional law: equal protection; criminal procedure; privacy; and free speech and free exercise of religion. Traditional accounts of these bedrock debates about the relationship of the individual to the state focus on decisions of the United States Supreme Court. But these explanations tell just part of the story. The book corrects this omission by looking at each issue-and some others as well-through the lens of many constitutions, not one constitution; of many courts, not one court; and of all American judges, not federal or state judges. Taken together, the stories reveal a remarkably complex, nuanced, ever-changing federalist system, one that ought to make lawyers and litigants pause before reflexively assuming that the United States Supreme Court alone has all of the answers to the most vexing constitutional questions. If there is a central conviction of the book, it's that an underappreciation of state constitutional law has hurt state and federal law and has undermined the appropriate balance between state and federal courts in protecting individual liberty. In trying to correct this imbalance, the book also offers several ideas for reform.

Download or read book Patents the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court written by Lunney, Jr. (Glynn S.) and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last twenty years, a quiet revolution has taken place in patent law. Before 1982, courts rigorously enforced the nonobviousness requirement, limiting patents to those innovations representing a substantial technical advance. At the same time, once an innovation satisfied this rigorous standard, courts accorded the patent a broad scope by applying a vibrant doctrine of equivalents. Since 1982, the Federal Circuit, with the acquiescence and sometimes the consent of the Court, has rewritten both doctrines, sharply limiting their reach. Through their doctrinal changes, we have moved over the last twenty years from patents that were rarely valid, but if valid, broadly enforced, to patents that are routinely valid, but narrowly enforced. In order to evaluate whether this switch is likely "to Promote the Progress of . . . the useful Arts," this article explores the economics of patents and identifies the uniformity of patent protection as a key to understanding the structure of patent law. Both patent and copyright protect a wide range of innovative products. Some of these innovative products require very little protection to ensure their development and disclosure, while others require considerably more. If we had perfect information, then in the absence of agency and transaction costs, an optimal patent system would individually tailor protection to each innovative product, providing protection just sufficient to ensure each desirable innovation's development and disclosure. Historically, however, the practice of both patent and copyright has been to provide more-or-less uniform protection to all information products that satisfy a given set of prerequisites. Although this uniformity is a potentially rational response to the presence of information, agency, and transaction costs, the fact of uniformity creates a trade-off, in expanding patent protection, between: (i) the social value of the additional information products broader protection ensures; and (ii) the reduced social value associated with the preexisting information products protected more broadly than necessary to secure their discovery and disclosure. Measured against the costs of uniformity, the switch to routinely valid, but narrowly enforced patents has two principal consequences. First, effectively eliminating the nonobviousness requirement will extend patent protection to a wider range of innovative products that would have been forthcoming with no or less protection. Given the trade-off uniformity entails, protecting a wider range of preexisting innovations increases the cost of any given expansion in protection and thereby drags down the optimal level of uniform protection. Eliminating the nonobviousness requirement thus limits the patent system's ability to encourage desirable, but more costly innovation. Second, at the same time, the switch removes from the patent system two of the principal doctrines by which courts could attempt to vary the effective level of protection provided to particular innovations. By reducing the ability of courts to tailor protection to the individually optimal, the switch to routinely valid, but narrowly enforced patents pushes us towards a more uniform, "one size fits all" system of patent protection. As with the first consequence, reducing the legal system's ability to tailor protection to the individually optimal level will limit the patent system's ability to encourage desirable, but more costly innovation. As a result, the switch to routinely valid, but narrowly enforced patents will limit the range of desirable innovations that the patent system can ensure.
