Since the states and state universities claim sovereignty prevents having their patents reviewed, they should be precluded from being issued patents. And since patents are constitutionally the purview of the federal government, then both the states and the state university’s which translate public funds into knowledge, can go hang.

In reply to Timothy.

Either.

Somehow, a “Vegas Strip” just doesn’t sound like anything you’d want to put in your mouth.

“The Patent and Trademark Office presumably accepted the methods for producing the cut as other than obvious.”

Because the Federal Circuit which was given exclusive jurisdiction over patent appeals decided that its job was to maximize patentability.

As part of that, they adopted a very limited definition of obvious that means it must be hinted at by prior patents (prior art).
