What Will a Move Back to 'Ordinary Observer' Within Patent Law Mean for Design?

We don’t know from law (hence why Stephanie has to keep changing her name and moving from state to state), but we ran across this press release from Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione, “one of the largest intellectual property law firms in the U.S.” and found it interesting. The firm talks about a recent Federal Circuit decision (likely one they were involved in) that shows a move back to the “Ordinary Observer” test as opposed to the newer “Point of Novelty” test within patent law.
