Patent Absurdity – or Bilski, the movie
The questions for determination are whether an misuse of patents has been shown, and whether petitioner may contest the validity of the licensed patents, in order to avoid its obligation to pay royalties under the agreement. In other news, I told you Kubin should have hired a man, and a seasoned gruff one at that, Rader tore that shrill voiced young girl a new one. Guess those electronic claims are not crap after all. Determine what is the function of the claimed element. But what worse enlargement of monopoly is there than the attachment of a patent to an unpatentable article? The general rule applies, and petitioner may not, in this suit, challenge the validity of the licensed patents. There will never be a better chance for Applicant to squeeze through on matter of dubious patentability.
