Court rejects overly broad reissue patent application

Description

Abstract: Regrets — we’ve all had a few. A patentee, for example, might regret not obtaining broader patent protection. A reissue patent could come to the rescue, but only if certain requirements are met. One patentee recently learned this lesson the hard way. This article summarizes the patentee’s attempt to broaden its patent through a patent reissue application. Source: In re: Float’N’Grill LLC, No. 22-1438 (Fed. Cir. July 12, 2023).
