Lyle previously covered the details of this case here and here.

The second, which is by Jon Bringardner and can be found here, is a profile of James Dabney, the IP specialist who is arguing on behalf of KSR in the upcoming patent case KSR v. Teleflex (Disclosure: Tom Goldstein represents the respondent in this matter). Orin Kerr comments on the article here at the Volkh Conspiracy.

Washingtonpost.com carries a Reuters story with more information about the letter from 15 senators urging an appeal by the Justice Department in a key tobacco case. Lyle previously discussed the issue here.
