Supreme Court to Rule on 'Obvious' Patents

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fluent-in-loopholeanese dept.

davidwr writes "News.com reports the U.S. Supreme Court will take up KSR v. Teleflex, a patent case in which the defense is arguing the patent is obvious and should be thrown out. The case hinges on a 1952 provision of patent law. Interestingly, several major IT firms are supporting the defense."
