The Supreme Court And Patent Law: Does Shallow Reasoning Lead To Thin Law, Donald S. Chisum Jan 1999

The Supreme Court And Patent Law: Does Shallow Reasoning Lead To Thin Law, Donald S. Chisum

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Professor Chisum explains that the role of the Federal Circuit Court as the "Supreme Court" of patent law may be changing. He notes the significance of recent United States Supreme Court cases addressing patent law issues. In addition, Professor Chisum evaluates the quality of recent landmark decisions in which the Court has examined patent issues. Chisum first notes that the general attitude of the Court reflects skepticism and hostility toward the patent system. In addition, Chisum considers the quality of reasoning undertaken by the Supreme Court and argues that, as opposed to the Federal Circuit, it is often weak, illogical, …


Is This Conflict Really Necessary?: Resolving An Ostensible Conflict Between Patent Law And Federal Trademark Law, Thomas F. Cotter Jan 1999

Is This Conflict Really Necessary?: Resolving An Ostensible Conflict Between Patent Law And Federal Trademark Law, Thomas F. Cotter

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Professor Cotter discusses the inherent conflict between patent and trademark law in product configuration - a species of trade dress - that is disclosed within the text of a utility patent or on which the claims of a utility patent read. Commentators have disagreed as to whether or not such disclosed features should enter the public domain upon expiration of the patent, regardless of whether they would otherwise qualify for trademark protection. Professor Cotter illustrates why the conventional belief that patents are monopolies is, in general, false. He then provides a brief overview of relevant trademark law principles. Professor next …


Using Alternative Dispute Resolution To Resolve Patent Litigation: A Survey Of Patent Litigators , Eugene R. Quinn, Jr. Jan 1999

Using Alternative Dispute Resolution To Resolve Patent Litigation: A Survey Of Patent Litigators , Eugene R. Quinn, Jr.

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Mr. Quinn provides an empirical overview of patent litigation, after which, he notes that the true growth in patent litigation has not occurred in the courtroom trial of disputes, but in the pretrial process. He concludes that increasing reliance on alternative dispute resolution, particularly mediation, is responsible for both the dramatic number of cases terminating during the pretrial process and the constant number of patent trials. The author reports the results of a survey taken of over one hundred patent litigators. The focus of the survey was to determine the attitude of patent litigators toward mediation or arbitration and their …


A Right Without A Remedy: The Unenforceable Medical Procedure Patent , Scott D. Anderson Jan 1999

A Right Without A Remedy: The Unenforceable Medical Procedure Patent , Scott D. Anderson

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Mr. Anderson discusses the current status of medical procedure patents in the United States through the examination of a survey conducted on patent law and the patentability of inventions. Mr. Anderson examines the history of medical process patents and the controversy surrounding such patents and offers an analysis of current law. The analysis focuses on the Pallin v. Singer decision and the congressional reaction to the holding that eventually led to the passage of 35 U.S.C. § 287(c). As a result of the Pallin decision and 35 U.S.C. § 287(c), a patent may be granted for a medical procedure, but …


March-In Rights Under The Bayh-Dole Act: Public Access To Federally Funded Research , Mary Eberle Jan 1999

March-In Rights Under The Bayh-Dole Act: Public Access To Federally Funded Research , Mary Eberle

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Ms. Eberle examines the Bayh-Doyle Act of 1980, which allows small entities to retain patent title to inventions arising from federally funded research. The Act includes a march-in rights provision, which permits a petitioning third party to force the small entity to grant the petitioner a license where the original licensee fails to commercialize the technology. Ms. Eberle discusses the substance of the Act, focusing on its march-in rights provision. Next, Eberle chronicles a march-in rights attempt by the biotechnology company CellPro to obtain a license to Johns Hopkins University patents and the subsequent court battle. After offering an analysis …


Deserved Deference: Reconsidering The De Novo Standard Of Review For Claim Construction, M. Reed Staheli Jan 1999

Deserved Deference: Reconsidering The De Novo Standard Of Review For Claim Construction, M. Reed Staheli

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc. (Markman II) concluded that patent claim construction is "exclusively within the province of the court," not the jury. However, it did not mention the appropriate standard for appellate review of claim construction, and the Federal Circuit has disagreed on the proper standard of review. As such, Mr. Staheli examines the evidentiary principles of claim construction adopted by the Federal Circuit and explores the inherent reliance a court places upon technical evidence when interpreting a complex claim, focusing on the factual disputes and determinations of credibility that result from a dependence on technical evidence. After a …


The Doctrine Of Equivalents Into The Year 2000: The Line Is Becoming Brighter For Some But Remains Dim For Others, William T. Kryger Jan 1999

The Doctrine Of Equivalents Into The Year 2000: The Line Is Becoming Brighter For Some But Remains Dim For Others, William T. Kryger

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Under the holding of Warner-Jenkinson Co. v. Hilton-Davis Chemical Co., a court will not limit an inventor to the sole remedy of literal infringement. The inventor may also rely on the "doctrine of equivalents," which permits finding of infringement if there is equivalence between the elements of the accused product and the claimed elements of the patented invention. With this backdrop, Mr. Kryger analyzes the courts' struggle in developing a bright-line rule to protect patentees from piracy and fraud on their patents. Mr. Kryger first chronicles the evolution of the doctrine of equivalents through caselaw, particularly Graver Tank v. Linde …
