Thus, for example, in Section 2300 on the Best Mode requirement, there is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. Section 112 (first paragraph) and an entry: Treatise Cross Reference: Chisum on Patents § 7.05. This alerts the user in search of further case law and background on the best mode requirement to consult Section 2300 in the Federal Circuit Guide (or in the 25th Anniversary Edition) and to consult Section 7.05 of the Treatise. In this instance, there is a notation to an important change in the best mode requirement by the America Invents Act.
