United States Federal Circuit


Randall Mfg. v. Rea, 2012-1611

The decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that certain claims of a third party's patent directed to moveable bulkheads for partitioning cargo space in a shipping container were not obvious, is vacated and remanded, where the Board failed to consider a wealth of well-documented knowledge that is highly material to evaluating the motivation to combine references to arrive at the claimed invention.
