Proveris Scientific Corp. v. Innovasystems, Inc.: Federal Circuit Addresses 'Safe-Harbor' Immunity
December 23, 2008
In <i>Proveris Scientific Corp. v.

The Federal Circuit Attempts to Right the Inequitable Conduct Ship
December 22, 2008
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has long maintained a high bar for proving inequitable conduct. This high bar is appropriate given the severity of the remedy &mdash; unenforceability of the entire patent &mdash; and the relative ease of using hindsight to find fault with the prosecution of a patent. Several recent decisions, however, have pointed toward a sinking standard for proving inequitable conduct, which has created an atmosphere of uncertainty about the proper scope of the inequitable conduct defense. The Federal Circuit's recent opinion on the subject, <i>Star Scientific, Inc. v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.,</i> appears to be an attempt to right the ship by reiterating the standards for proving inequitable conduct that were established more than 20 years ago.
