Summary: "This paper addresses the problems associated with the application of an overly harsh utility requirement. The authors also analyze the inconsistencies in the case law concerning the proper standards and evidentiary proofs for satisfying the utility requirement in a patent application. A comparison of the various case law standards to the new Utility Guidelines, and a discussion of their practical effects, follows. Finally, the limits of the application of the new â€œcredibleâ€ evidence standard are addressed."
