This 2023 edition addresses all Federal Circuit decisions through 2022. Author Joseph Root presents a unique approach to mastering the art of patent drafting by distilling Federal Circuit jurisprudence into a set of rules, each embodying the essence of requirements for patent validity in a given area. One cannot employ these rules by rote, but understanding and applying their underlying principles will lead to bulletproof patents. Earlier editions gained widespread praise from reviewers and bloggers.

The 2022 edition ISBN is 9781663340399.
