United States Federal Circuit
Tafas v. Doll, 08-1352
In an action involving four rules recently promulgated by the USPTO, district court's ruling is affirmed in part and vacated in part where: 1) the four final rules challenged in this case are procedural and thus within the scope of the USPTO's rulemaking authority; and 2) Final Rule 78 conflicts with 35 U.S.C. sec. 120 and is invalid.
