EPISODE 22 - The Examiner Whisperer - Ex Parte Mewherter

In this episode of the Litigation Quality Patents® Podcast, inventors use the phrase "machine readable storage medium" in their software claim. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board explored the limits of that claim, clarifying what is and is not patentable subject matter. In this case, the inventor's claim was rejected. Craige also talks about how this decision touches on litigation quality patent practice pointers regarding intended use limitation in claims, and how to properly show possession of software claims to meet the written description requirements.

Craige's special guest is Tawfiq Ali, a business litigation attorney with the Ali Law Practice in Chicago.
