Obviousness Part 2

Obviousness Youtube Video:

"Prior art search-Obviousness in your Invention or Idea-Venn Diagrams"
**This video breaks down obviousness into a very interesting and easy to understand way

Major Points to Pull:
  1. There have been many supreme court cases over the last 100 years related to obviousness in patents. (i.e Graham v. John Deere Co.)
  2. Patent practitioners help overcome the finding of obviousness in your patent.
  3. "Prior art searches" look to see if there are overlapping parts of your invention to prior art.  
  4. If entire art overlaps with a prior art, then the invention is not proprietary and is obvious.  
  5. If your patent is rejected, patent practitioner provide arguments to the patent office based on patent law and other aspects of obviousness in practice.
