The monumental reference deals with both the high-profile cases and the "uncelebrated decisions" that tend to slip under the radar and fits them into an analytical framework that reveals their true significance. Patents and the Federal Circuit addresses ever-changing issues and developments in substantive patent law, infringement litigation, and procedure.

The Tenth Edition covers all the Federal Circuit decisions through the end of calendar year 2010. Among other notable developments, it explores:

• The Federal Circuit's decisions in i4i v. Microsoft, SEB v. Montgomery Ward, and Stanford v. Roche, and the issues currently pending before the Supreme Court in these cases
• Continuing developments in the standards for injunctive relief following the Supreme Court's eBay decision
• The state of false patent marking litigation in the wake of the Federal Circuit's Stauffer and Pequignot decisions
• Willful infringement after the Federal Circuit's en banc decision in Seagate

The authors of Patents and the Federal Circuit, Tenth Edition are: the late Robert L. Harmon, a patent litigator with Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione and special master, arbitrator, and expert witness in patent infringement cases; Cynthia A. Homan, an attorney with Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione, Chicago, IL, and author of briefs on substantive and procedural issues relating to all aspects of intellectual property law; and Charles M. McMahon, an attorney with Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione, Chicago, IL, specializing in the areas of patent, trademark, copyright, and unfair competition law who has represented clients before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
