Federal Circuit -- MHL TEK, LLC. V. NISSAN MOTOR CO.

MHL TEK, LLC. V. NISSAN MOTOR CO.

 Patent law -

Quick parse far outside of TMB's intellectual comfort zone sez:

(1) No standing on some claims, as carve-out protected parent inventions, and while patents reference part of the parent inventions, there was still a distinction.

(2) As the claims of the individual patent are supported by the Parent application, it is within the 'inventions and discoveries' contemplated by the latter.

(3) Where individual patents concern elements of the Parent, they do not necessarily concern the Parent itself.

[Really, though - no clue.  TMB]
