What's more, the courts are reluctant to overrule the Patent Office, so there is a better chance of getting a patent overturned if you can show a court prior art that the Patent Office did not consider. If the courts are willing to entertain a higher standard in judging unobviousness, it helps to save the prior art for them. Thus, the proposals to &ldquo;make the system work better&rdquo; by providing the Patent Office with a better database of prior art could instead make things worse.
