This episode is about an opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the case of IN RE: MIODRAG KOSTIC, GUY VANDEVELDE, concerning their appeal from a United States Patent and Trademark Office decision. The case centers on a reissue application for U.S. Patent No. 8,494,950, titled "System for Conducting an Exchange of Click-Through Traffic on Internet Web Sites." The core issue is whether a reissued claim (claim 3) improperly broadened the scope of the original patent claims, which is prohibited by 35 U.S.C. § 251(d) when the application is filed more than two years after the original patent was granted. The court ultimately affirms the decision against the appellants, finding that the reissued claim is indeed broader because it allows for alternative processes, whereas the original claim required specific steps including a trial process.
