United States Federal Circuit
Ritchie v. Vast Res., Inc., 08-1528
In a patent infringement action involving sexual devices, district court's judgment is reversed where the patented invention would have been obvious to persons skilled in the relevant art, as it is a standard product with well-known properties and substituting the type of glass in the device was not a venture into the unknown.
