Digital Law Online: Getting A Utility Patent Does the claim “a widget, comprising A, B, and C” read on a non-widget that nevertheless has A, B, and C?

Consequently, the process claims may be directed to a method of preparing a family of compounds while the product claims may be restricted to only one member, or a small number of members, of that family. Further, where a group of inventions is claimed in the same application, the requirement of unity of invention referred to in section 36 of the Patent Rules is considered to be fulfilled only when there is a technical relationship among those inventions involving one or more of the same or corresponding special technical features. www.wipo.int /scp/en/working_group/session_2/comments/canada.doc   (171 words)

MPEP Section 2173.05(h) A situation may occur in which a patentee has presented a number of examples which, in the examiner's opinion, are sufficiently representative to support a generic claim and yet a court may subsequently hold the claim invalid on the ground of undue breadth. Where a Markush expression is applied only to a portion of a chemical compound, the propriety of the grouping is determined by a consideration of the compound as a whole, and does not depend on there being a community of properties in the members of the Markush expression. The use of Markush claims of diminishing scope should not, in itself, be considered a sufficient basis for objection to or rejection of claims. patents.ame.nd.edu /mpep6/ch_21/mpep_2173.05(h).html   (605 words)

MARKUSH CLAIMS IN EUROPE In the Board’s judgement, this requirement reflects the general legal principle that the extent of the patent monopoly, as defined by the claims, should correspond to the technical contribution to the art in order for it to be supported or justified”. The Italian jurisprudence was confronted with Markush claims in the Cefatrizine and in the Cimetidine cases [8]. These claims are intended to secure a broader patent protection, in particular a “downstream protection” further down the development pipeline, starting from gene to protein, from protein to protein effectors or inhibitors of all possible kind. www.franzosi.com /english/article/legals21.htm   (605 words)

Merck v. Mylan Pharmaceuticals The examiner had rejected the Markush claims under '103, citing Sheth as "describing sustained release preparations of levodopa and/or carbidopa" and Schor as "describing a controlled release composition of embraced species of polymers, for any and all oral drugs." The polymer combination of HPC and PVACA is, without dispute, not suggested by Sheth or Schor. Since the examiner rejected the Markush claims in light of references that described a HPC/HPMC polymer vehicle, when Merck limited its claims to the HPC/PVACA combination it became estopped as to that vehicle in the dropped claims. Merck argued to the district court, and repeats on appeal, that it was compelled by the examiner to elect a species from the proposed Markush genus, and that it amended its claims for this reason and not because the claims were unpatentable under '103. www.ll.georgetown.edu /federal/judicial/fed/opinions/99opinions/99-1044.html   (335 words)
