Abstract
In this installment of the “Looking at Patent Law” articles, we discuss obviousness rejections in view of a case study of a trivalent chromium plating invention. We have chosen this invention to align with the sustainability focus of this issue of Interface. The article begins with a brief review of obviousness followed by a brief description of the trivalent plating invention. The article concludes with a case study of the inventions/patent applications related to the trivalent plating process with a focus on the obviousness rejections.
