Prof. Cotter's Article Featured on "Written Description" Patent Law Blog

Professor Tom Cotter's article "An Economic Analysis of Patent Law's Inequitable Conduct Doctrine," 53 Ariz. L. Rev. 735 (2011), was featured on the "Written Description" Patent Law Blog in a post by Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law Professor Sarah Tran. The post provided a thoughtful discussion of Cotter's model of the inequitable conduct doctrine as, ideally, a tool for inducing patent applicants to disclose the optimal amount of information relevant to whether their inventions are patentable, and his conclusion that the doctrine only approximately attains this ideal.
