Like Buying up Overlapping Patents — and Double PatentingFebruary 15, 2021 at 12:52 PM by Dennis crouch
Sandoz Inc. v. Immunex Corp. & Amgen (Supreme Court 2021)
This new petition asks the Supreme Court to chime-in on the judicially created doctrine of obviousness-type double-patenting. The basic rule is that it is improper for a patent owner to extend the term of a first patent by simply obtaining a second patent that is an obvious extension. You might ask – why do we need a separate double patenting doctrine here? Doesn’t Section 103 obviousness do the trick already?

In 2017, a man named Willie Nash was booked into a Mississippi county jail on a misdemeanor charge. For reasons that aren’t clear, his cellphone wasn’t confiscated as the law dictated. When he asked a jailer for a charger, the phone — which he had been using to text his wife — was seized.
