How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that while “[a] better characterization of the relationship between the inventions is as combination/subcombination,” the reasoning of Borah is applicable
  • determining that application claims were pat-entably distinct from claims of a patent under a two-way test, again without reference to any “prior art”
  • concluding, under the first, or one-way, part of a two-way test, that the omission from the later application of a limitation found in the earlier-issued patent would not constitute an “unobvious modification”
  • each patent involved combination/subcombinations, and one of the patents included additional claims combining the two subcombinations
