Patent Law

The way to achieve the blog's purpose

By DC Patent Associate

My just conceived plan is

1. Choose a topic, such as:  (a) what are "teaching away" arguments that will and will not overcome an obviousness rejection during prosecution, or (b) what kinds of claim interpretations are so broad that they are beyond reasonable?
2. Next, search for CAFC, BPAI or other cases relating to the chosen topic.
3. Read decisions, file histories, disclosures and the prior art for the best cases.
4. Explain what I think I learned.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the benefit of repeating becomes less than the benefit of switching topics.

So, my readers, please post your suggested topics in the comments section below, and also please post your suggestions on how to improve my plan.

My next step will be to decide on a first topic.
