Welcome to Skilled in the Art. I’m Law.com IP reporter Scott Graham. We got a ruling from the Federal Circuit this week that patent owners are calling an earthquake, but as I’ll outline below, it’s been years in the making. We also had a real, live example of an appellate lawyer who forgot to bring the trial record with her to court. Judge Wallach was not amused! As always, you can email me your thoughts and feedback, and follow me on Twitter.
