  6. HITACHI KOKI CO., LTD. v. DUKAS

    MOTION for Summary Judgment

    Filed December 19, 2007

    57. The Board held that in view of the prior art shown in Hitachi’s accompanying specification and drawings, as well as the patents of Johnson, Langworthy, and Ambrosio, Hitachi’s claim 1 would have been obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103 because “[p]ersons having ordinary skill in the art reasonably would have expected to be able to inexpensively eliminate the prior art-recognized requirement to turn the workpiece in order to cut angles + 45 degrees with respect to the zero-tilt angle position using a desk-top cutting machine by applying the design, materials, and construction taught by Johnson, Langworthy, and Ambrosio and altering the conventional desk-top cutting machines depicted in Figures 6 and 7 of appellant’s specification and described by Ito in accordance therewith.” Id.

    MEMORANDUM in Support re MOTION for Summary Judgment

    Filed June 15, 2007

    at 417. In view of Levin and Sewall, Plaintiffs in this case must show by clear and convincing evidence that they made a contribution that made the ‘962 Patent claims novel (as required by 35 U.S.C. § 102) and non-obvious (as required by 35 U.S.C. § 103), and hence patentable. Plaintiffs cannot satisfy this burden as a matter of law.

    MOTION for Summary Judgment or in the alternative, dismissal and remand

    Filed October 6, 2006

    Here, Plaintiff requested an oral hearing before the Board on the Examiner’s rejection of the patentability of his claims to giving gamblers massages while they gambled. One of the grounds of that rejection was 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), obviousness. Not surprisingly, at the hearing the Board asked Plaintiff questions about whether that subject matter was known in the art.
