The Impact of KSR
As a result, some claims that may have been found to be non-obvious before KSR will now correctly be found to be obvious.
Inventors and practitioners will need to take these developments into account when preparing and prosecuting applications. For example, it may be necessary to review a broader cross-section of prior art than was previously necessary, or to consider filing evidence of unexpected results earlier rather than later in the course of prosecution. By being proactive, practitioners will expedite prosecution and avoid unnecessary fees and RCE filings.

Bilski 最高裁ヒヤリング
11月9日のヒヤリング関係のリンクです。
(PatentlyO)(PatentlyO2) (271)
どうやら、最高裁はBilskiには微笑まないという見方が大勢を占めているようです。
(Law.com)
The case involves a patent application by Pittsburgh businessmen Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw for a way to help utility companies and their customers to regularize costs by considering factors of supply, demand, and weather. No justice who spoke seemed to view the process as patent-eligible, but it was not certain that a vote against the Bilski-Warsaw patent would sweep away patents for computer software or medical diagnostics, as some have feared.

まさに、今が旬のこの分野のUSC(Class 705)が今再編されているそうです。

米国 知財（司法）トレンド メモ
米国で、今どんな知財トピックが話題になっているか、コンパクトにまとめた良い資料が
PatentlyOにて紹介されていました。
＜ここ＞にアップデートされた資料が掲載されています。40ページ弱の資料で、さっと米国
知財最新状況を概観できますよ。
Top Ten List is solely prepared by Harold C. Wegner and is designed to focus upon cases which may challenge important concepts of patent law. Because a case is commercially important is not at all relevant, other than where there is an interesting legal issue the fact of great commercial importance may give greater prominence to the legal issues involved in the case.

スタンフォードＩＰ訴訟ＤＢの無料アクセスに制限が。。。
先日、下記メールが届きました。
このブログの右側にリンクをのせています、ＩＰ訴訟ＤＢ使用に制限がかかるようです。
これまでは登録すれば誰でも使用することができましたが11月からは非商用使用を
証明できるもののみ使用できることになるようです。
商用で使いたい場合は Lex Machinaを使ってくださいということです。
このＤＢ連邦地裁のＩＰ訴訟の状況がわかって、統計データの収集には結構便利でした
のでちょっと残念です。
やっぱり、不景気の影響ですこしでも費用回収しなきゃということなのでしょうかね。
このＤＢへのリンクは近いうちに消す予定です。

Stanford IP Litigation Clearingho
Dear IPLC User,
Our records indicate that you have an account with the Stanford IP Litigation Clearinghouse (“IPLC”). We thank you for registering with and using the IPLC, and we hope that the website has been useful to you thus far. Since its creation, the IPLC has been growing rapidly in depth and features. However, free access to the IPLC is reserved for non-commercial uses only. Because of this limitation in our terms of use, we will unfortunately be unable to keep providing you access without a demonstrated need for non-commercial access.
The IPLC does, however, have a commercial analog with advanced capabilities, called Lex Machina, which is currently available to law firms and other commercial users. Lex Machina is a powerful new tool for IP lawyers that can dramatically increase research intelligence and improve new business development success rates. Lex Machina contains all of the same features as the IPLC, plus much more advanced functionality such as law firm profiles and the ability to perform targeted searches for orders granted or denied.
If you are interested in Lex Machina, please get in touch with us, and we can provide you with more information, including a quick tour of the system and our services over web conference. We would also be happy to send you some introductory information about Lex Machina. Our pricing structures are competitive with the industry.
We will keep your IPLC account active until October 31, 2009. However, we can extend such access for a reasonable period if we can schedule a Lex Machina demo for your organization. So please get in touch!
Best regards,
David
