Supreme Court to Rule on 'Obvious' Patents

It should be obvious to regular readers where I stand on this one ... but maybe I should take out a patent just in case it's not!

The US Supreme Court will take up KSR v. Teleflex, a patent case in which the defense is arguing the patent is obvious and should be thrown out. The case hinges on a 1952 provision of patent law. Interestingly, several major IT firms are supporting the defense.
