I have been meaning to highlight the University of Michigan Law Review’s recent Supreme Court, Federal Circuit, and Patent Law edition for some time.  The day before the Michigan-Ohio State match-up for the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl seems like an appropriate time to do it.  The article contains excellent analysis of the future of patent law and the effects of recent Supreme Court rulings, in particular KSR.  The specific articles are:

• Rebecca S. Eisenberg, The Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit: Visitation and Custody of Patent Law
  
• John F. Duffy, KSR v. Teleflex: Predictable Reform of Patent Substance and Procedure in the Judiciary
  
• Harold C. Wegner, Making Sense of KSR and Other Recent Patent Cases
  
• Robert A. Armitage, Now That the Courts Have Beaten Congress to the Punch, Why Is Congress Still Punching the Patent System?
  
• Stephen G. Kunin & Andrew K. Beverina, KSR‘s Effect on Patent Law

Each article is worth the read, perhaps as you watch the game tomorrow.
