Understanding Markman: Article is "Go To" Source
Jeffrey I.D. Lewis, patent partner, led an American Intellectual Property Law Association subcommittee which has published a Guide to understanding the seminal Supreme Court case on Patents,
Markman v. Westview Instruments, and its progeny. The article, "The Interpretation of Patent Claims,"
