• W657414528 abstract "The public use and on sale bars of 35 U.S.C. § 102 allow an inventor a one-year grace period to file for a patent from the first time the invention is used publicly or offered for sale. Until the Supreme Court decided Pfaff v. Wells Electronics, Inc., the courts had been using the “totality of the circumstances” test for both the public use and on sale bars. In its holding in Pfaff, the Supreme Court changed the standard for applying the on sale bar from the “totality of the circumstances” test to the “ready for patenting” test; however, the Court was silent as to the public use bar. The patent law community, on the whole, considered this silence to mean that the test for a public use had remained the same, and, aside from one Federal Circuit decision in 2004 that held otherwise (but was later vacated), the courts have continued to decide public use bar cases using the “totality of the circumstances” test. This has led some to criticize the “totality of the circumstances” test as vague and unpredictable and to argue for a Pfaff-like test in the context of a public use. Although the “ready for patenting” test of Pfaff may work for the on sale bar, the public use bar requires the more flexible analysis provided by the “totality of the circumstances” test. The public use bar, although similar in some respects to the on sale bar, has different underlying policy justifications, consists of activities that are different by their nature from those of the on sale bar, and is intricately related to the experimental use doctrine. For these reasons, maintaining the multi-factor “totality of the circumstances” test for public use is the best way to ensure that the public ∗ Candidate for Juris Doctor, Notre Dame Law School, 2006; B.S.

I would like to thank Phil Petti from Fitch, Even, Tabin & Flannery in Chicago, IL for helping me develop this topic and for providing invaluable feedback on my work. I would also like to thank Professor Amy Barrett for guiding me through the process of writing this Note and helping me to organize my ideas. Finally, I will always be grateful to my husband Ken for coming up with the crazy idea of going to law school, and especially for his support and the support of all our family.
