Nice to see Judges picking up on the vague language
Authored by: MDT on Tuesday, January 15 2013 @ 04:06 PM EST
If this becomes a (bigger) trend, a lot more bogus software
patents will get kicked out at the preliminary stages,
meaning cheaper court fights, which will encourage more
fights and discourage more bogus litigation.

Wonderful -- Good Common Sense!
Authored by: lnuss on Tuesday, January 15 2013 @ 06:19 PM EST
It's great to see a judge who takes the legal standard of "ordinary
skill" into account, and who can actually recognize vagueness.

Allen v. World - Claims Construction Decision Favors Defendants ~mw
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, January 15 2013 @ 06:33 PM EST
112 2nd (indefinite) reasons of invalidity are almost always reversed in appeals
by the CAFC because they have the "insolubly ambiguous" standard.
Which means it shouldn't be invalid unless there is no possible claim
construction.

Allen v. World
Authored by: Imaginos1892 on Tuesday, January 15 2013 @ 07:04 PM EST
I still say it should be "Allen v. World + Dog", or even
"Allen v. World + Dog + Fleas on Dog". Could it be some
manifestation of OCD? Whatever, it's a shame he keeps on
wasting so many peoples' time.

Allen v. World - Claims Construction Decision Favors Defendants ~mw: Best of All
Authored by: webster on Tuesday, January 15 2013 @ 11:10 PM EST
.

The Defendant's can use these eliminated, vague claims to
make the Allen experts lop off definite chunks of their
damage claims.

Useful and independent

The associated comment is huge and contains nuts... fragments of patent
claims...

...which are, mainly, nuts.
