An Obvious Solution to a Non-Obvious Problem

June 29, 2012 Patent

Inventors and patent attorneys know that creating any invention has two parts: (a) identifying a problem; and (b), solving that problem.  To protect the invention by patent, the invention must be ‘non-obvious.’  That is, if two or more prior art patents or other references when taken together teach all of the elements of a patent […]

You Have the Right to Remain Silent…

June 29, 2012 Lipton Weinberger & Husick Blog

The 1966 landmark Supreme Court case of Miranda v. Arizona gave us that famous TV cop phrase, “You have the right to remain silent…” This warning, called the Miranda Warning after the name of the criminal defendant in the case, is so common that many citizens can almost repeat it by heart.

Major League Baseball Should Play Fair with Fair Use

May 31, 2012 Copyright

On May 28th, Phillies versus the Mets, ace-pitcher Cole Hamels, allowed four runs in eight innings but got out of an eighth-inning jam by making the right pitches at the right time.  But it was first baseman Ty Wigginton’s game.  He saved the day by going 3-for-3 with a double, home run, two walks, and […]

A Book By Any Other Name

March 29, 2012 Internet Law

Readers of this newsletter will recall that trademark rights in the United States are established by use, not by registration.

Healthcare Reform Affects Intellectual Property

March 29, 2012 Intellectual Property

This week the United States Supreme Court heard arguments over the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).  The ten titles of PPACA, along with amendments to the “Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010” regulate multiple industries making up approximately one-sixth of the national economy, all of which affect science, […]

‘Justice Delayed is Justice Denied’*

February 29, 2012 Patent

Unless the courts quickly resolve disputes, there is no justice.  As former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger said: “A sense of confidence in the courts is essential to maintain the fabric of ordered liberty for a free people and three things could destroy that confidence and do incalculable damage to society: that people come to […]
