Provides valuable evaluations of Supreme Court processes, expectations, and strategic advice within the context of patent cases, framed specifically for patent lawyers.
A unique resource providing the most important Supreme Court patent law cases and vital background information and analysis.
Written by a skilled and respected patent lawyer, whose experience spans private law firms to his current position as an associate solicitor with the US Patent & Trademark Office, where he advises Department of Justice and Solicitor General's Office representatives on patent and copyright issues in Supreme Court and other federal court cases.

In view of the Supreme Court's heightened interest in patent law, practitioners at all levels are well advised to bear in mind, for each issue in litigation, to what extent the "settled" (or not so settled) Federal Circuit law has gone beyond the baseline set by the Supreme Court, as well as a sense of the extent to which these differences might lead to Supreme Court review of the issue. Patent Law in the Supreme Court comprehensively reviews key Supreme Court decisions, provides Supreme Court and Federal Circuit "State of the Law" analyses, and discusses the many factors (dissents, panel decisions, academic commentary, and so on) that are indicators of "certworthiness" i.e., likelihood of Supreme Court review.
