Perfect Surgical Techniques v. Olympus America, Inc., 2015-2043

In a patent action, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board decision invalidating certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,030,384 is vacated and remanded where the Board erroneously applied a heightened 'continuous exercise of reasonable diligence' standard instead of the required 'reasonably continuous diligence' standard in determining that the patent at issue did not antedate Japanese Application Publication No. H10-33551 A.
