On July 30, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit clarified the bounds of what constitutes a "public" disclosure under Title 35 of the U.S. Code, Section 102, in Sanho Corp. v. Kaijet Technology International Limited Inc.1
The court held that a private sale is not a public disclosure, limiting the ability of patentees to avoid otherwise invalidating prior art.
