Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 01.10.14
On December 30, the FAA announced its selection of six public entities that will develop unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) research test sites around the country to define the operational and certification requirements necessary to further integrate UAS into the national airspace. The test sites will focus on the FAA's research goals in critical areas and are a key part of the UAS Roadmap, issued in November, to support the expanded use of civilian UAS by industries such as agriculture, law enforcement, and oil and gas exploration.

From ‘Second’ to ‘First:’ Federal Circuit Tackles Obvious Claim Errors
Patent claims must be clear and definite, as they set the boundaries of the patentee’s rights. Occasionally, however, claim language contains errors, such as typographical mistakes or incorrect numbering. Courts possess very limited authority to correct such errors. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has emphasized that judicial correction is appropriate only in rare circumstances, where (1) the error is evident from the face of the patent, and (2) the proposed correction is the sole reasonable interpretation in view of the claim language, specification, and prosecution history. See Group One, Ltd. v. Hallmark Cards, Inc., 407 F.3d 1297, 1303 (Fed. Cir. 2005) and Novo Indus., L.P. v. Micro Molds Corp., 350 F.3d 1348, 1357 (Fed. Cir. 2003).
