On March 1, 2010, the Public Patent Foundation, Inc. ("PUBPAT") (at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law) announced that Dr. David Garrod, PUBPAT's Senior Litigation Counsel, has decided to release his claim construction dictionaries free of charge through PUBPAT's web site. They are available for immediate download using the following link: http://www.pubpat.org/garrodglossariesreleased.htm
There are three Glossaries of Judicial Claim constructions:
- Electronics, Computer and Business Method Arts
- Mechanical, Electro-Mechanical and Medical Devices Arts
- Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Arts
“Each of the released volumes covers district and appellate court decisions in the indicated subject areas, starting with the Federal Circuit's 1995 Markman decision and running through the end of 2009. Content appears in an easy-to-read dictionary format, indexed by the exact claim language construed. Because the usefulness of any particular construction depends critically on the reason that the court adopted the construction in question (e.g., was it "plain meaning" or a definition in the patent), each entry is endnote-linked to the relevant decisional text, with the portions of the full-text that define the particular construction highlighted for easy reference.”See Public Patent Foundation, Inc.
