Revised Judgment is Less Judgmental

In Hyatt v. Hirshfeld, [2020-2321, 2020-2323, 2020-2324, 2020-2325] (October 12, 2021), the Federal Circuit reissued its August 18, 2021, opinion, at Hyatt’s request, striking the language “in an efforts to submarines his patent applications and receive lengthy patent terms,”  leaving the much less judgmental observation that Hyatt “adopted an approach to prosecution that all but guaranteed indefinite prosecution delay.”
