Book Description
This book sets out governing statutes and rules at the beginning of each chapter and includes sample litigation documents where possible. The casebook begins with discussions of who to sue, where to sue, pleading requirements, discovery, and trial strategy. It then moves into substantive legal issues. The Third Edition includes new material on pharmaceutical litigation under the Hatch-Waxman Act and the most developments in the law of invalidity and infringement. The book next addresses issues surrounding remedies, including injunctive relief (with a discussion of the Supreme Court's eBay decision), contempt proceedings, and damages. Also included are post-trial matters including jury instructions, special verdict forms, the preclusive effect of final judgments, judgment as a matter of law, and new trial motions. Finally, the book covers the appeal process and reexamination and reissue proceedings.

In the second chapter in Part One, a typical scenario is provided as to how a patent dispute may arise. Part Two is directed to a step-by-step description (at a relatively broad level) of all stages of patent litigation, from filing of complaint through discovery, fact and expert depositions, mediation, design around considerations, pretrial order, patent jury trial and appeal. The Appendices include a glossary of patent terminology, a set of actual jury instructions, a Markman opinion on claim construction, and a recent statement by the FDC regarding deficiencies in the current patent litigation system.

Book Description
This volume assembles papers commissioned by the National Research Council's Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) to inform judgments about the significant institutional and policy changes in the patent system made over the past two decades. The chapters fall into three areas. The first four chapters consider the determinants and effects of changes in patent "quality." Quality refers to whether patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) meet the statutory standards of patentability, including novelty, nonobviousness, and utility. The fifth and sixth chapters consider the growth in patent litigation, which may itself be a function of changes in the quality of contested patents. The final three chapters explore controversies associated with the extension of patents into new domains of technology, including biomedicine, software, and business methods.

Book Description
The second edition of Patent Law: Fundamentals of Doctrine and Policy provides a remarkably accessible yet robust introduction to patent law and its practical application. Written in a straightforward style, the authors focus on providing a deep understanding of doctrine and policy without "hiding the ball" in ways that can hinder student comprehension. The book will appeal to students who have scientific and technical backgrounds or prior patent experience, as well as students who simply have an interest in technology and innovation and seek a well-rounded legal education. The book teaches all the core patent statutes and doctrines in the United States patent system. The authors employ several pedagogical methods to ensure students' mastery of each topic. At the outset of each chapter and section are detailed explanations of the black letter law. When new concepts are introduced, the text provides examples and explanations along with diagrams and illustrations. Case law is edited to emphasize legal principles and avoid excessive technological complexities. Updates to the second edition include: Dozens of new case discussions to bring the legal content up to date; Revamped presentation of novelty to further emphasize AIA law over pre-AIA law; Added examples, explanations, and practice questions to reinforce understanding; Increased internal cross-referencing to highlight relationships between discussions across the text; Reordering of topic coverage to enhance comprehension; and Further editing and editorializing of cases to focus on salient points of law.

Book Description
The authors feel that students considering patent law for the first time should look forward to learning legal tenets as venerable as the Constitution itself yet as current as the latest development from the laboratory bench. This casebook is comparative and constantly refers to aspects of foreign patent systems. This is with the understanding that patent practitioners without an understanding of the international patent system place their clients at a significant disadvantage.
