I just noticed that Republicans seem to be biased in favor of Republicans.

I would be willing to bet that high unemployment is better for LinkedIn's business model than low unemployment. The same goes for all social media platforms.

Your finding employment is contrary to their interests.

🚨 Wake up call from the land of the obvious! Someone just discovered that blindly following political teams like a sports fan might not be the best idea. 😴 It's almost as if was invented yesterday. Who would've thought? 🙄

(wading through Xitter)

Once again, it seems like folks are madder at the Dems for not stopping Repubs from doing a terrible thing than they are at the Repubs for doing it.

I imagine lefties are pleased.

Today I'm writing against #obviousness

Image of text from a Word document:

They therefore found a more expedient means to be obstinate without any insight, namely, the appeal to ordinary common sense. It is in fact a great gift from heaven to possess right (or, as it has recently been called, plain) common sense. But it must be proven through deeds, by the considered and reasonable things one thinks and says, and not by appealing to it as an oracle when one knows of nothing clever to advance in one’s defense.
	— Kant, Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics (1783)
Like all obviousnesses, including those that make a word ‘name a thing’ or ‘have a meaning’ (therefore including the obviousness of the ‘transparency’ of language), the ‘obviousness’ that you and I are subjects – and that that does not cause any problems – is an ideological effect, the elementary ideological effect. It is indeed a peculiarity of ideology that it imposes (without appearing to do so, since these are ‘obviousnesses’) obviousnesses as obviousnesses, which we cannot fail to recognize and before which we have the inevitable and natural reaction of crying out (aloud or in the ‘still, small voice of conscience’): ‘That’s obvious!

The court orders briefing (and seeks amici views) on various issues, including:

"Does KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398 (2007), overrule or abrogate In re Rosen, 673 F.2d 388 (CCPA 1982), and Durling v. Spectrum Furniture Co., Inc., 101 F.3d 100 (Fed. Cir. 1996)?"

The reference requirement is good; the Federal Circuit has just applied it to strictly.

I'll add that this continues a trend I've noticed where the Federal Circuit doesn't publish their § 103 decisions in design patent cases.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of it but it seems notable.

I've also noted that tension: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf

But I think the problem is not the Rosen requirement per se but rather the way the Federal Circuit has been applying it. See id.

The Rosen reference survives another day.

The Federal Circuit rejects LKQ's attack--for now--in a per curiam opinion, which totals 32 pages, counting the panel's opinion, additional views from Judge Lourie and a concurrance-in-part from Judge Stark: cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-ord

Judge Stark notes (correctly) that "there is, at minimum, substantial tension between the Supreme Court’s holding in KSR and our Durling test."

The Federal Circuit has misapplied the Rosen "primary reference" requirement. But that doesn't mean we should throw it out entirely: patentlyo.com/patent/2022/12/d
