Plagiarism Today
MARCH 10, 2022
When many schools and universities talk about combatting plagiarism, they are often looking at it through a prism of detection and discipline. Frankly, it’s easy to see why. Schools often feel powerless against plagiarism and, when you consider that there will always be some who decide to take shortcuts, detection and discipline will always remain necessary components of any anti-plagiarism strategy.

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board found in a recent inter partes review—DraftKings Inc. v. Interactive Games LLC—that DraftKings’ proposed combination of prior art would have been obvious when Interactive Games’ mobile gambling patent was filed, and was therefore unpatentable. The outcome of this case demonstrates the ineffectuality of arguing that there is no motivation to modify the primary reference because it works as is, as well as the importance of understanding whether an invention.
