Very likely most of you know, but just in case let me tell you this one.
The Zurko case may set a precedent on raising the bar for non-obviousness
patents:
"early rumors back at then-Digital had been that our patent was turned
down as a test case for setting back the bar for non-obviousness"
(from http://www.tbtf.com/archive/1999-06-14.html)
Zurko filled a patent that was rejected by the patent office (the
patent was about a method for reducing the amount of trusted code in a
secure user interface). The CAFC (a court well known for its
pro-patent bias) agreed with Zurko, but the US Supreme Court reversed
the case.
