A Survey of the Doctrine of Prosecution Laches
Bonnie M. Grant
Under the current U.S. patent system, patentees are entitled to file an unlimited number of continuation and continuation-in-part applications. Many patentees use that benefit by filing chains of applications that may lead to any number of issued patents. Because the patents result from chains of applications, they may be pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for quite some time. Defendants who are charged with infringement of these patents—frustrated by what they perceive to be the patentee’s efforts to await developments in the field and broaden the pending claims—may assert the affirmative defense of prosecution laches.
