How does the patent system work? How can you use it to protect your company's intellectual property and safeguard your technology? How valuable are patents and how does your company enforce them (or defend against patent rights)? Have the recent and proposed reforms helped or hurt the startup community? Our panel will discuss these and other cutting edge issues dealing with the patent process and how your company can maximize value.
Word marks, trade names, service marks, design marks, trade dress, and slogans — although each of these terms have distinct meanings, they all may be considered to fall under the broad category of “trademarks.”

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., ET AL. v.
APPLE INC.
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR
THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT
No. 15–777. Argued October 11, 2016—Decided December 6, 2016
Section 289 of the Patent Act makes it unlawful to manufacture or sell
an “article of manufacture” to which a patented design or a colorable
imitation thereof has been applied and makes an infringer liable to
the patent holder “to the extent of his total profit.” 35 U. S. C. §289.
As relevant here, a jury found that various smartphones manufac-
tured by petitioners (collectively, Samsung) infringed design patents
owned by respondent Apple Inc. that covered a rectangular front face
with rounded edges and a grid of colorful icons on a black screen.
Apple was awarded $399 million in damages—Samsung’s entire profit
from the sale of its infringing smartphones. The Federal Circuit af-
firmed the damages award, rejecting Samsung’s argument that dam-
ages should be limited because the relevant articles of manufacture
were the front face or screen rather than the entire smartphone. The
court reasoned that such a limit was not required because the com-
ponents of Samsung’s smartphones were not sold separately to ordi-
nary consumers and thus were not distinct articles of manufacture.
Held: In the case of a multicomponent product, the relevant “article of
manufacture” for arriving at a §289 damages award need not be the
end product sold to the consumer but may be only a component of
that product. Pp. 4–9.
(a) The statutory text resolves the issue here. An “article of manu-
facture,” which is simply a thing made by hand or machine, encom-
passes both a product sold to a consumer and a component of that
product. This reading is consistent with §171(a) of the Patent Act,
which makes certain “design[s] for an article of manufacture” eligible
for design patent protection, and which has been understood by the
Patent Office and the courts to permit a design patent that extends to

only a component of a multicomponent product, see, e.g., Ex parte
Adams, 84 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 311; Application of Zahn, 617 F. 2d
261, 268 (CCPA). This reading is also consistent with the Court’s
reading of the term “manufacture” in §101, which makes “any new
and useful . . . manufacture” eligible for utility patent protection. See
Diamond v. Chakrabarty, 447 U. S. 303, 308. Pp. 4–7.
(b) Because the term “article of manufacture” is broad enough ...

It discusses about the Patents Act, 1970, and the purpose of a patent. It also goes through the case of Apple Vs Samsung and the judgement given by the court.
Being a patent lawyer is a profession that can be complex and contentious. But what a patent lawyer really does is tell stories about people who make new things. This presentation is a story about innovation - the almost mystical force behind our human penchant for making new things. Because patent lawyers have a creative license to be their own lexicographers in the stories they tell.
Patents are the IP tool that societies have developed for encouraging investment in innovation while, at the same time, fostering technology disclosure.
The origins of patent grants trace back to Venice and England when the crown, always looking for new ways to make money, came up with a scheme for granting exclusive rights a tradesman as a way to break the grip the trade guilds held on technology then by their practice of keeping information about new technology as trade secrets that were passed from master to apprentice
Understanding the origins of patents is not just an academic exercise.
