Prior Art and Its Uses: A Primer, by Theodore C. McCullough (Groklaw)
Groklaw presents
Prior Art and Its Uses: A Primer, by Theodore C. McCullough.
"The question of what constitutes prior art can be confusing, to say
the least. Moreover, the issue of when one can and cannot use a particular
type of prior art in attacking the patentability of a particular invention
is equally confusing. The following is a high-level outline of the some of
the key concepts regarding what constitutes prior art, and how to apply it
to address the patentability of an invention. The purpose of this primer is
not to serve as formal legal advice, nor should it be considered as
such. Rather, the purpose of this primer is to assist the general public,
including those in the Open Source Community, with helping to improve
patent quality."
