rkral--The basis for my belief that some of the Nokia follow-on patents might be invalid is the wording of the KSR decision, which I downloaded and have studied at great length. KSR-Teleflex is a very broad decision, which also got more votes than the slim majority that has characterized numerous recent Supreme Court decisions. It sends a strong message to the lower courts as well as to prospective litigants that the Patent Office, encouraged by the huge numbers of new patent applications that have to be reviewed by an overworked and often under prepared staff, needs to reset its thinking on what is novel. I try to avoid second guessing what a court might do (I've been wrong so many times), but in this case, I think Nokia's going to get stung. Art
