"The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is providing an
update to its examination guidelines concerning the law of obviousness
under 35 U.S.C. 103 in light of recent precedential decisions of the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued since the
2007 decision by the United States Supreme Court in KSR Int’l Co. v. Teleflex Inc. The updated guidelines were published today in the Federal Register, and in response to stakeholder requests, include additional examples on this ever-evolving issue of law."
The examination guidelines are available for download here: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-21646.pdf
