Abstract
Less than a handful of casebooks are truly open source, in the sense of being fully modifiable. Patent Law: An Open-Source Casebook is the first patent law casebook that provides adopting professors, students, and others the ability to fully modify its contents. This chapter of the casebook covers the patent document, including patent claims, focusing on the substantive rules of claim construction and definiteness.
