Robert Greene Sterne,
editor-in-chief of Patent Office Litigation and founding director at
intellectual property law firm Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein& Fox PLLC talks
about the importance of obviousness within patent laws and in the context of
newly formed (2012) patent trial and appeal board. In the video, he
explains the definition of obviousness in the legal terms and the role that
obviousness plays. He predicts that the issue of obviousness will be a central
theme in the new contestant proceedings. In other words, the proceedings will
second-guess the invention on whether there is enough innovation. He recognizes
obviousness is a tricky issue and educates the viewers on procedures by which the inventor
should take to make sure his inventions meets “non-obviousness” requirement as best it could.
Wow, Great post Cai. I really learned a lot about obviousness here, beyond just the surface level. I really like how you talked about the law firms in it too.
ReplyDeleteNice post it was very informative. I didn't know that the definition of obviousness could be so convoluted. It really makes me realize that we have to be clear in everything we do. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYi I rally liked the video, specifically I thought he had a very interesting perspective with regard to obviousness. I would have liked to see what your opinion was in relation to it rather than just a summary, but its a pretty great summary so overall good job.
