3. 2013-04-10 (Week 2) RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring 2013 3 Teacher's Homework (per Scott) 1) What patent number ranges are design patents in? Slide below. I was off by a factor of 10! 2) Will we be able to take a "field trip" to see an actual patent case? Yup. Sure looks like it. Slide below. 3) Why don't patents use some type of 3-dimensional rendering technology for diagrams (e.g., SolidWorks)? 1. You can if you want. See https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/58678 example of figure page linked here courtesy of someone named Lenny Bucholz https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/58678here 2. Official USPTO statement that Lenny also linked to is not there any more (dead link: here). Here's the MPEP provision about the drawing requirements, including the statutory authority.herethe MPEP provision Skim through it to see how detailed the MPEP is.

Grewal CHECKING THE DOCKET From Rachael Samberg, SLS law librarian and, in a former life, IP attorney: Docket: Many law students already have BLAW accounts, but if they don't, they need only go to *blaw.com/activate *and create one through the sign- up form.blaw.com/activate Anyone with a Stanford ID should be able to get an account with your @stanford.edu email address. Say that your law school is Stanford (obviously) and you are a student. - On BLAW's end, a human enters info from the form, so it may take a few hours to receive the account. They say you'll hear back in 24-48 hours, but I received a login and password in 2 minutes. An activation code is *not* required; that section can be skipped. - This sign-up should also work for your grad students, but if they encounter trouble, please pass along their names and we'll square it away. Let me know! Searching for dockets and filings in BLAW is very easy. From the main screen, one just clicks "Litigation & Dockets," then "Search Dockets," and you can enter the case info. Rachael has made a video walking through this but I think it's pretty easy to use without additional help. Let me know if you want the link to the video. One important point Rachael makes in the video: IGNORE any messages that say you have to pay a fee. You don't because you're logging in from Stanford, not from a money-making enterprise. (Or anyway, not money-making from the practice of law. Or anyway, not DIRECTLY money-making from...) Read this after class. The PPTs are in the PPT subdirectory. Recently filed document (#188, 4/1/13) Joint Proposed Jury Instruction #18Joint Proposed Jury Instruction #18 Judge Grewal judged a simulation in 2009 when he was still a practicing lawyer.2009 The simulation was unusual for 4 reasons: 1. the patent was on a method, 2. it was not exactly in the expertise of the experts, and 3. the issue was obviousness.patent The team's experts were both geneticists. One lawyer was a physicist (non-law student), the other was a PhD chemist who was a law student. 4. The panel was activist (but not Grewal so much) to the dismay of the poor lawyers.

17. RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring 2013 17 To calculate the expiration of a patent, you need to know these dates. Then consult DOCS/TERMCALC.DOC on the course website (or read the statute).DOCS/TERMCALC.DOC The calculated date is not your final answer, however. You must also consider - nonpayment of maintenance fees - extensions due to delays by the government. But there’s good news! This is just FYI.

What does this sentence suggest about TEK's product? Why else would TEK argue this? -RJM} P {In this Order, the court does not address what the level of skill is or what education and experience would characterize the HYPOTHETICAL person of ordinary skill in the art.

Without more, the court will not impose "integral" as a limitation. The claim term will be given its plain and ordinary meaning. See Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1323 (cautioning against reading limitations that may be present in the specification into the claim). {6. Why is it wrong to read a limitation from the specification into the claim? Who would urge doing so and why? When should it be permitted? AC

27. 2013-04-10 (Week 2) RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring 2013 27 SSI v TEK - Individual Questions - 4 "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." What "sealingly receives"? The "separate structure" or the "enclosure"? "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." remove the ambiguity by reversing the order

28. 2013-04-10 (Week 2) RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring 2013 28 SSI v TEK Individual Questions - 5 "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." "an enclosure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant. that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure " Replace the second THAT with 'and' or 'which'? Replace 'that may be formed' with 'the enclosure being formed...'? Replace 'within and as' with 'as and within' so that both phrases lead with an AS. This helps the reader who is looking for parallelisms.

30. 2013-04-10 (Week 2) RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring 2013 30 Markman Orders and other things that cause cases to settle {In the Northern District of California by Local Rule, and elsewhere either by Local Rule or judge's rule, the parties must, well before trial, identify all the disputed terms in the claims (or as many terms as the court is willing to consider, usually about ten as here) and propose constructions for them. The court then construes the terms, sometimes choosing one of the parties' constructions, sometimes crafting its own. These constructions then govern subsequent motions, such as motions for summary judgment, as well as the trial. Experts are often involved in assisting with claim construction and sometimes present a tutorial in court. Usually the hearing on claim construction consists of attorney argument but it can include live testimony from experts. The Construction Order, sometimes called a Markman Order after a famous case about claim construction (full cite in opinion above) often leads to early settlement. These orders, generally unappealable until there is a final judgment, can be overturned by the appellate court. When that happens, a new trial is usually ordered. More in class about factors leading to settlement, and the role of experts at early stages of the litigation. -RJM} page 2-3
