seek protection from a court for the costs of preproduction privilege review. Capra is
reporter to the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on the Federal Rules of
Evidence. He also served as the point person for any Congressional questions or concerns
regarding the rule and participated in several meetings with Judiciary Committee staff
members to get the rule passed.
Professor Jeanne C. Fromer's (Law) article, “The Layers of Obviousness in Patent
