Means-plus-function to an unfortunate end – How one patent failed the definiteness requirement
$225.00
Description
Abstract: Patent drafters sometimes turn to “means-plus-function” language to claim an invention based on its function rather than its underlying structure. This article covers a recent ruling showing that such language, in and of itself, may not satisfy intellectual property law’s definiteness requirement. Robert Bosch, LLC v. Snap-On, Inc., No. 2014-1040, Oct. 14, 2014 (Fed. Cir.)
