- Authors
Michael, Anthony
- Abstract
The article provides information on the development of inequitable conduct under the patent law in the U.S. The term inequitable conduct is defined in patent law as an act of fraud, deceit or willful misconduct committed by a patentee to obtain a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Inequitable conduct is a judicially created doctrine based on several U.S. Supreme Court decisions where patent applicants engaged in fraud to procure their patents.
