KSR International, Inc. was accused of patent infringement by a firm called Teleflex. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed an earlier court decision that had found patents held by Teleflex were "obvious" and therefore invalid. In challenging the finding, KSR argued that the Federal Circuit has been improperly interpreting patent law for years when it comes to deciding whether an invention is "obvious."
