What are the implications of the US Supreme Court’s recent ruling in the KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc. patent case?

Last year, the US Supreme Court agreed to consider what circumstances make the disclosures of two or more prior art references combinable, to support a judgment of patent invalidity for obviousness.

Steptoe partner, Roger W. Parkhurst, moderated the discussion of distinguished panelists. Roger has more than 30 years of patent litigation experience and is a former president of the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA). He concentrates on patent, trademark, trade dress, and unfair competition litigation.
