The American Lawyer
On Monday, the U.S. Solicitor General submitted a brief that supports i4i in it’s case against Microsoft, over the definition by which a patent is ruled invalid. The brief affirmed the current “clear and convincing” standard is appropriate, versus Microsoft’s “preponderance of evidence” standard. "I find it refreshing that the government came out for i4i," said i4i counsel and Finnegan partner, Donald Dunner. "Changing the burden of proof would have negative effects not only on innovation, but also on the patent office's efforts to be efficient."
