Douglas A. Sorensen recently authored, "What is "Obvious" Is Not at All Obvious: A Call for a More Fundamental Change to U.S. Patent Law," 23 Tex. Intell. Prop. L.J. 161 (2014) - Article Abstract: "In this paper, a proposal is made to revise 35 U.S.C. §103 because of the difficulties in interpreting the ambiguous term 'obvious.' The jurisprudence on the interpretation of §103 is explored. In accordance with jurisprudence on this issue, the following three part test is proposed: i) demonstrate that the prior art shows the elements of the claimed invention in a combined or modified form; ii) demonstrate a reason why one skilled in the art would make the combination or modification; and iii) demonstrate that the combination or modification provides results that one skilled in the art at the time of the invention could have anticipated. It is asserted that this test more directly and clearly reflects the distinction between good engineering and invention. This clarity would be beneficial to the courts, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and, perhaps to foreign jurisdictions." http://www.tiplj.org/issues/tiplj-volume-23/
