Considering the popularity of Supreme Court bobbleheads (as reported in yesterday’s New York Times), maybe the Court should next set up a Facebook page.   I’d be happy to friend some of the Justices, starting with Stevens, who has several Facebook pages devoted to him, including John Paul Stevens, John Paul Stevens’ Bowties, and John Paul Stevens: The Most Adorable Supreme Court Justice.

According to SCOTUSblog, Microsoft won (7-1) in Microsoft v. AT&T, and in KSR v. Teleflex, a unanimous Court ruled that the Federal Circuit had applied too narrow a standard for determining “obviousness.”

Note: BOGO means “buy one, get one free.”

Although Labcorp v. Metabolite was dismissed last week, in this morning’s order list, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in KSR v. Teleflex (No. 04-1350, docket here). Previous commentary at Patently-O. The issue is the obviousness test used by the Federal Circuit in patent cases. This promises to be a major case.
