This article is a couple of years old, but well worth a read for its insight into how one DC-based appeals court screwed up the patent system?

Federal Circuit Appeals Court marks 30 years of spreading the “patent gospel.”


The appeals court for the federal circuit has been completely devoid of all logic for years, and probably should be disbanded
