United States Federal Circuit
In re Kubin, 08-1184
In a patent action relating a classic biotechnology invention, Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences decision rejection plaintiff's patent application is affirmed where the Board did not err in rejecting plaintiff's claims as obvious under 35 U.S.C. sec. 103(a), as plaintiff's methodology in the patent was essentially the same as the methodologies and teachings in prior patents and scientific works.
