		<description><![CDATA[One thing that can be good when working as a lawyer is to have a way with words.  As a patent prosecutor, you must also be very careful with your words. It is well known that prosecution history estoppel can be used to limit the scope of patent claims.  A recent decision from the Middle District [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=37thoughts.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11408521&amp;post=329&amp;subd=37thoughts&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Supreme Court released its decision in Bilski v. Kappos today, a long-awaited case dealing with the scope of patentable subject matter under 35 USC Sec. 101. In short, the Supremes affirmed the Federal Circuit&#8217;s judgment that Bilski&#8217;s business method was not patent-eligible, but stated that the Federal Circuit&#8217;s &#8220;machine-or-transformation&#8221; test was not the sole [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=37thoughts.wordpress.com&amp;blog=11408521&amp;post=315&amp;subd=37thoughts&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
