JOHN WHITE: Now I get to introduce Rebecca and the next topic. But I told you, Ben brings passion to 102(g), and for that reason alone it's a shame that it's gone. Because it's such a fun topic. Our next topic is 103, as seen through the lens of district court, and importantly, CAFC decisions. And the reason we look at 103 from all angles, and indeed all of prior art from all angles, is it matters. The patent office takes one view and the CAFC helps ...

They have worked very hard to present for you a way by which you can be meaningfully introduced to the substantive topic, so that when you finish this time with them together, you will have a much greater depth of understanding. Even if you are a copyright expert, they will run you over the cavalettis, making you think again ...

KATHERINE C. SPELMAN: Our next presentation is one that is also a hard slot to fill for the reason that some would say the fair use doctrine is a circumstance when the minnow has swallowed the whale. Fair use began a long time ago, and Dale will tell you more. I will stay away from it, even though I'm itching to do that because it's such an interesting topic. But when you have someone who is as generous with their time as Dale is being today, I do ...
