But Isn't It Obvious?

The US Supreme Court is hearing arguments over the meaning of 'obvious'. In the field of patent law, an innovation must not only be novel and useful but not obvious to a person of 'ordinary skill in the field'. This is apparently the most important patent case in decades!

And you thought patent law wasn't riveting?

Wait'll the companies start sparring over the meaning of ordinary.
