Partner Harold Wegner was quoted in a Reuters article published on April 28, 2014, titled “U.S. High Court Takes Up Case Involving Ambiguous Patents.” The article discussed the U.S. Supreme Court’s use of the case, Nautilus v. Biosig, to raise the bar on how much detail needs to be in a patent to avoid charges of being “indefinite.” According to Wegner, the Supreme Court last took up the issue of how detailed patents need to be more than 70 years ago.
