- Authors
Nard, Craig Allen
- Abstract
The article discusses legal fictions and the role of information in American patent law as of 2016, and it mentions the legal aspects of the public domain, patent novelty, and a public use doctrine which precludes an inventor from obtaining a patent under certain circumstances. A patent-related doctrine of equivalents is examined, along with the U.S. America Invents Act of 2011, U.S. procedural law, and the prosecution history estoppel doctrine.
