MAY 24TH, 2007 Luncheon CLE Presentation
Oregon State Bar Computer and Internet Law Section

On the last day of April, the Supreme Court handed down two decisions reversing the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. One decision addresses "software as a component", and makes the conjoint copyright/patent protection of computer software even more interwoven. The other unanimously rejected a Federal Circuit rule on proof of obviousness. The resulting shake-up in patent litigation and the fallout in patent prosecution are just beginning.

This CLE will address both decisions, with a pair of innovative presenters tackling one each. John Vandenberg of Klarquist Sparkman will examine the impact of Microsoft Corp. v. AT&T Corp. on the foreign reach of U.S. patents; at halftime, Professor Joe Miller of Lewis & Clark Law School will confront KSR Int'l Co. v. Teleflex Inc. and its changes to the analysis of a claimed invention's obviousness -- including possible effects on the patentability of software inventions.
