	Process for the removal of terpenes from essential oils - Patent 5061502
		Terpenes are removed from essential oils by (a) contacting terpene-containing essential oils with a polar solid (adsorbent); (b) separating the loaded adsorbent from the liquid phase enriched with terpenes; and (c) subjecting the adsorbent loaded with essential oils to an extraction with compressed carbon dioxide.
		These essential oils frequently contain terpene hydrocarbons of the mono- and sesquiterpene series which have only a limited storage stability and are thermolabile and, in addition, display a smaller aroma intensity than the actual aroma material which is preponderantly composed of volatile oxygen-containing compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, esters, acids, phenols, alcohols and lactones.
		A number of processes are known for the removal of terpenes from of essential oils which, for the separation of the terpenes, utilize differences in the vapor pressure, in the polarity or in the solubility of the terpene components in comparison with the oxygen-containing compounds.

		The chair or the chair's delegate shall request that each potential essential patent holder submit either a patent letter of assurance or a statement that the potential essential patent holder is not aware of any patents or patent applications that it owns that would be infringed by a compliant implementation of the standard.
		Essential patents are those patents, including patent applications, whose infringement is unavoidable in a compliant implementation of either mandatory or optional portions of a standard and where there is no other reasonable technical implementation available.
		The response from the patent holder serves as further guidance as to whether or not to proceed with the inclusion of the referenced patented technology in the draft standard.

	Essential patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An essential patent is a patent which is required in order to make a particular product.
		In particular a patent which is essential to a standard becomes very valuable if that standard becomes important.
		Considerable money can be made by obtaining submarine patent on a technology that may become essential, in order to give the technology an opportunity to become standard before the patent is published.

		Initial patent submissions: by November 15, 2003 (although patent submissions may continue to be submitted after that date, owners of essential patents in the initial group of patents submitted by the November 15 date will form the initial group of licensors that will select a licensing administrator and determine the terms of license).

		At that time, any patent initially designated by a Licensor for inclusion in the DVD Patent License that the expert determines is not "essential" will be excluded from subsequent DVD Patent Licenses, although current licensees will have the option to retain it in their existing licenses.
		This formula takes into account how often a Licensor's "essential" patents are infringed by either manufacture or sale of licensees' products, the age of the patents, and, in the case of patents "essential" to disc standards, whether the Licensor's patents relate to optional or mandatory features of the standard.
		Licensees' freedom to exploit their non-"essential" patents will be meaningful only to the extent that the determination whether a licensee's patent is "essential" is made independently of the Licensors and other licensees, who may earnestly wish to practice a DVD-related patent that, although attractive, is not essential to the standard.

	PATENT MISUSE IN PATENT POOL LICENSING: FROM NATIONAL HARROW TO "THE NINE NO-NOs" TO NOT LIKELY
		The doctrine of patent misuse--unenforceability of a patent as a penalty for its improper use--was firmly established in Morton Salt Co. v.
		The doctrine of patent misuse is an affirmative defense to a suit for patent infringement, and requires that the alleged infringer show that the patentee has impermissibly broadened the "physical or temporal scope" of the patent grant with anticompetitive effect.
		Patent owner P is clearly in a worse position in the second scenario described above, if the law requires him to license his technology separately.

		Conversely, for some licensors, Essential patents have proved to be an excellent source of revenue adding tens of millions to the bottom line.

		The services are focused on the extremely valuable Essential patents, those that are embedded within the UTRA-FDD Specifications and for which a license is required by all manufacturers.

	Federal Circuit Rejects Patent Misuse Challenge
		The manufacturers claimed that not all of the Philips essential patents were in fact essential to the practice of the standards and that Philips should have allowed them to license only the patents that they wanted.
		After conducting a hearing on the case, an ITC administrative law judge found that not all of the Philips patents in question were in fact essential to the standard and that Philips had created an impermissible tying arrangement because it required prospective licensees to license both essential and non-essential patents in a single package.
		The Federal Circuit's decision significantly increases the likelihood that companies holding essential patents that read on an industry standard will license all of their patents relevant to the standard in one package.

		If a patent application with essential claims is found subsequently not to contain essential claims or does not issue as a patent, it will no longer provide a basis for participation.
