"Patent litigation has assumed a pivotal role in today's global economy. In response to the increased prominence of patents, the Complex Litigation Committee of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL) has authored a manual that provides a balanced view of the issues in each phase of a patent case for judges and lawyers. [This book]...covers all steps required to bring a patent case to trial, and the key elements that make such litigation unique. [This edition] specifically addresses the complex technical, procedural, and legal issues inherent in a patent lawsuit that are not usually found in other types of civil litigation. It is limited to the unique characteristics of patent litigation and has been added to the Federal Judicial Center's resource library for district court judges and their law clerks. The handbook provides concise coverage of the fundamentals, effective lessons from the most significant cases, and essential insights from leading experts and judges. The new third edition includes: a brand-new chapter 15, patent office inter partes review (IPR) and other AIA trial proceedings...addressing key features of PTAB trials and the impact of PTAB trials on patent litigation in federal courts; the impact of changes in the law resulting from numerous decisions from the Supreme Court, as well as the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, including, what subject matter is eligible for patent protection, how the all-important claim construction determination is to be made and when attorneys fees should be granted; amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that alter pleading requirements; and much more."--

Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

Precious and Few is a lively and nostalgic look back at the forgotten era of pop that gave us "Hooked on a Feeling", "Dancing in the Moonlight", "I Am Woman", "Seasons in the Sun", and more. The early 1970s brought a "Convoy" of popular rock music--everything from cheesy to the classic. The authors of Precious and Few, Don Breithaupt and Jeff Breithaupt, true-blue '70s fanatics, have put together this irresistibly readable book to transport readers back to a time when people wore smiley-face buttons, went to singles bars, and heartily sang along with Mac Davis.Illustrations throughout.
