The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) announced on October 8 that the controversial rules that would have limited the number of patent claims per application, and the number of continuing applications that could be filed, have been rescinded. This withdrawal effectively settles the dispute in Tafas v. Kappos (formerly Tafas v. Doll and Tafas v. Dudas).
