United States Federal Circuit
In re Skvorecz, 08-1221
Decision of the PTO and the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (Board) rejecting claims in petitioner's application to reissue a patent, involving a device for maintaining hot food, is reversed and remanded where: 1) anticipation cannot be found, as a matter of law, if any claimed element or limitation is not present in the reference; 2) Board was incorrect in holding that a claim was indefinite and a written description requirement was not met as such conclusion was unsupported by substantial evidence.
