Patent Prosecution: Law, Practice, and Procedure, Seventh Edition, with 2012 Supplement
By Irah H. Donner

Patent Prosecution: Law, Practice, and Procedure, Seventh Edition expertly addresses the most recent substantive changes in patent law by the district courts, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. This treatise also explains new prosecution rules from the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), making it a resource that is equally strong in its analysis of patent case law as it is in its analysis of patent prosecution. Additionally, it covers important recent cases, including the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bilski v. Kappos and analyzes the PTO’s examination guidelines, “Interim Guidance for Determining Subject Matter Eligibility for Process Claims in view of Bilski v. Kappos.” Other recent decisions discussed include In re Tanaka; Association for Molecular Pathology and ACLU v. USPTO and Myriad; Ariad Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Eli Lilly and Co., and others.

The 2012 Supplement addresses significant changes in U.S. patent law resulting from recent decisions and statutory amendments. Importantly, the treatise discusses changes to the patent law resulting from the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, including prioritized Track I examination, the first-to-invent system, elimination of the best mode defense, and revised standards for inter partes reexamination. In addition, it covers more than 40 decisions of the Supreme Court, the Federal Circuit, and the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, including i4i Limited Partnership v. Microsoft Corp.; Tewari De-Ox Systems V. Mountain States; In re Jung; and Duramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Paddock Laboratories, Inc.
