The most complete commentary available on the state of patent law. This monumental reference deals with both the high-profile cases and the uncelebrated decisions that tend to slip under the radar, and fits them into an analytical framework that reveals their true significance. Patents and the Federal Circuit, Tenth Edition addresses ever-changing issues and developments in substantive patent law, infringement litigation, and procedure. The authors distill the opinions issued by the primary source of governing law on patents, giving you convenient, onesource access to controlling case law. The material is organized in a way that is intuitively familiar to patent lawyers, so they can access the information they need quickly and easily. The Tenth Edition of Patents and the Federal Circuit covers all the important Federal Circuit decisions through the end of calendar year 2010.

This leading casebook makes Patent Law accessible to a wide audience of students and instructors. Patent Law and Policy provides numerous diagrams and figures, concise explanations of relevant legal principles, and to the extent possible, cases involving relatively simple technologies. This edition includes additional international materials, new statutory provisions, and a host of recent decisions. In a new chapter entitled The Legal Process of the Patent System, the authors provide a systematic treatment of process rules—an area that has recently been the subject of ongoing and proposed reform. In addition to providing the most recent developments, the authors have also tried to put the current evolution of the law in historical context, thus expanding coverage of historically important cases in areas where the law is changing dramatically.
