No. 04-1350 Title:

KSR International Co. v. Teleflex, Inc., et al.

Subject:

Patents, Obviousness, Intellectual Property

Question:

Whether the Federal Circuit has erred in holding that a claimed invention cannot be held "obvious", and thus unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. section l03(a), in the absence of some proven "'teaching, suggestion, or motivation' that would have led a person of ordinary skill in the art to combine the relevant prior art teachings in the manner claimed."
