United States Federal Circuit

In a patent dispute involving whether the submission of a narrower claim in a reissue application that still contains all of the original patent claims presents the type of error correctible by reissue under 35 U.S.C. section 251, order by PTO denying reissue is reversed as contrary to longstanding circuit precedent and stare decisis.
