This new title provides powerful quotations and an analytical roadmap that practitioners can use in their briefs, in arguments, and in formulating litigation strategy at each stage of the federal court system. RECENT REVIEWS: "In this well organized, readily accessible and highly readable treatise, Michael Kiklis analyzes the serial interventions by the Supreme Court that keep altering the purely statutory patent law as interpreted by the Federal Circuit and understood by patent practitioners.

By stressing trends and explaining dicta for what it may portend, Kiklis provides an invaluable chart for navigating shifting seas." - Paul Michel, former Chief Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit "In this one volume, Michael Kiklis has filled in a critical gap in our understanding of modern American patent law.
