With the newly released 7th Edition of Patent Prosecution: Law, Practice, and Procedure, you’ll find in-depth coverage on significant changes in U.S. patent law resulting from recent decisions and statutory amendments. The new material covered in this invaluable 5,000+ page resource includes expert analysis of more than 100 recent decisions of the Supreme Court, the Federal Circuit, and the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences. You’ll also save valuable time and precious resources with the comprehensive, in-depth analysis of Federal Circuit decisions and new prosecution rules from the PTO.

Patent Prosecution: Law, Practice, and Procedure, Seventh Edition is the only resource that gives you an element-by-element analysis of patent law areas that trigger rejections and objections by the U.S. Patent Office. Utilizing years of research and practical experience, the author classifies a wide variety of PTO rejections and provides you with proven response strategies.

This Seventh Edition provides in-depth coverage of important recent cases, including Bilski v. Kappos, along with the PTO’s interim guidance on subject matter eligibility for process claims. Also covered is In re Tanaka, where the Federal Circuit reversed the BPAI holding that addition of a dependent claim rendered the patent inoperative.
