Synopsis

Discover the fundamentals of patent law in The Patentability of Inventions, a clear guide to what makes a new use or a double use patentable.

The text uses classic cases to explain how courts decide when an idea is truly new and when it is merely applied in a familiar way.

Through concrete examples and concise reasoning, readers will see how judges evaluate novelty, how “new use” and “double use” are treated, and where the line between invention and obvious or old knowledge lies. The material covers both the rules and their practical consequences for inventors, lawyers, and students of patent law.

  • Learn how courts distinguish new uses from mere repackaging of old ideas.
  • See how the same invention can be treated differently depending on its application.
  • Understand the role of case law in shaping patentability judgments.
  • Grasp the standards used to assess originality, invention, and priority.

Ideal for readers seeking a solid, accessible grounding in patent eligibility and the reasoning that underpins important rulings.
