New Article - Australia even more patent-friendly after High Court decision

In this article, "Australia even more patent-friendly after High Court decision" in the August/September 2007 edition of IAM-Magazine, I explain why patentees or licensees of Australian patents can be more bullish about asserting them as they now have less concerns over invalidation than they would in many other countries. The article focuses on why obviousness in particular continues to be problematic for those seeking to challenge Australian patents and offers some brief suggested approaches.

Hi Duncan - I really enjoyed the article. No doubt others will, too.

With time, there really must be a shift in standard regarding CGK.

Re secondary considerations, I think the courts will begin to pick up on the fact that it can work as a 'double edged' sword. Hopefully the Zyprexa case will provide a foundation for others in supporting those seeking to invalidate a patent...
