Definiteness And Particularity In Patent Claims, William Redin Woodward
Definiteness And Particularity In Patent Claims, William Redin Woodward
Michigan Law Review
To the uninitiated the professional jargon of patents, and particularly of patent claims, is somewhat mystifying even in the most ordinary cases. The profession likes to define the elements of apparatus as "means" for this, "means" for that and "means" for the other.

While "enrichment" is no longer an accurate synonym for benefit, as it once was, the qualitative "unjust" still retains its vigor. Thus, "unjustified benefit" is a more accurate name for the concept. As used in quasi-contract and related fields of law, the concept is composed of several factors, no one of which can be considered as invariable. …
