Swallowing The Apple Whole: Improper Patent Use By Local Rule, Ellisen S. Turner Dec 2001

Swallowing The Apple Whole: Improper Patent Use By Local Rule, Ellisen S. Turner

Michigan Law Review

During patent infringement litigation, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ("FRCP") and the federal district court's local rules govern the parties' pretrial discovery and motion practice. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has adopted the most comprehensive local rules to date covering pretrial procedures in the patent litigation context. The Northern District of California Patent Local Rules ("Local Rules") may come to have a significant impact throughout the federal courts, as it appears that other jurisdictions and commentators are looking to the Local Rules for guidance. For instance, the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property …

A Victory For The Student Researcher: Chou V. University Of Chicago, Kyle Grimshaw Oct 2001

A Victory For The Student Researcher: Chou V. University Of Chicago, Kyle Grimshaw

Duke Law & Technology Review

For years, graduate and other student researchers at universities have alleged that the hierarchical system in academic research allows supervising PhDs to steal and patent inventions that were rightfully discovered by students. In July 2001, the Federal Circuit finally addressed these concerns by interpreting the law in a way that strictly protects the rights of student researchers. This article examines this long-overdue change in the law and discusses its potential implications.

Festo'S Effect On After-Arising Technology And The Doctrine Of Equivalents, Anthony H. Azure Oct 2001

Festo'S Effect On After-Arising Technology And The Doctrine Of Equivalents, Anthony H. Azure

Washington Law Review

In Festo Corp. v. Shoketsu Kinzoku Kogyo Kabushiki Co., the Federal Circuit adopted a strict approach to prosecution history estoppel and thereby limited the availability of the doctrine of equivalents to patentees suing for infringement by after-arising technology. The court held that when a narrowing claim amendment creates prosecution history estoppel, the amended claim element maintains no range of equivalents and therefore the patentee is completely barred from applying the doctrine of equivalents. The court rejected the flexible approach, which allows a scope of equivalents even after a narrowing claim amendment. This Note argues that the Supreme Court should …
