CAUTION: There is a newer version of this casebook. Order this version only if you want this earlier edition. This is the cheaper black & white version; there is a separate color version. Patent Law: Cases, Problems, and Materials (4th Edition 2025) is a free casebook, co-authored by Professor Jonathan S. Masur (University of Chicago Law School) and Professor Lisa Larrimore Ouellette (Stanford Law School). The casebook is focused on bringing conceptual clarity to the details of modern patent practice, while also placing patent law in its social context. Many practice problems throughout the casebook allow students to apply patent doctrines to fact patterns from real cases and to hypotheticals constructed to isolate and explain difficult concepts. So far it has been adopted at over 70 law schools. The casebook is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.
