Talk:Graham v. John Deere Co.

This article appears to be written to an audience that understands a great deal about the subject. Perhaps it should not assume that knowledge. For example, I do not understand the first line at all. Given we should not assume knowledge on Wikipedia, I think it should be dumbed down, (for lack of a better phrase). Supertigerman 03:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I fixed the date of the Hotchkiss v. Greenwood from 1851 to 1850. See http://supreme.justia.com/us/52/248/index.html (which is on the Supreme Court website). JeffJoslin 19:24, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I am confused by this article. The third paragraph ends: "Calmar and Colgate-Palmolive sought a declaration of invalidity and non-infringement of the patent, and Cook Chemical Co. sought to maintain an action for infringement. The validity of the patent was sustained by the District Court and the Eighth Circuit affirmed." Then the last paragraph of the article ends: "Clark further held that the differences between Scoggin’s design and the prior art were simply too minor and non-technical to maintain the validity of Cook’s patent." Was the Cook patent ruled valid, or not? 204.78.172.14 (talk) 20:35, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
