schestowitz I love the idea of having an ARM laptop.  It may be too light weight as a dev machine but I really like the idea of buying one to try out Linux ARM daily usage with enough horsepower to be a daily machine with some light development.""Oct 16 01:07

schestowitzNovelty of selection inventionsOct 16 10:25
schestowitzIt is all very nice to decide that the criterion for purposive selection should belong to inventive step rather than to novelty. In any case it means that in the future, novelty over a prior art document under Art 54(3) can be achieved by choosing an arbitrary range. I do not see the interest and usefulness of such a change. Oct 16 10:25
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | 2019 updates to the EPO Guidelines for Examination - the highlights - The IPKatOct 16 10:25
schestowitzNovelty vs. purityOct 16 10:25
schestowitzFor the time being the decision which recognised that reaching a higher purity confers novelty is a one of, and it may well stay like this. Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzSubstance or compositionOct 16 10:25
schestowitzA substance or a composition is an item of material which disappears during its use. This cannot be said from a device, even if it is introduced in the body. A recent example is given in T 2136/15. In this decision the BA refused to refer a corresponding question to the EBA. The same happened in T 1069/11. Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzT 1758/15 is the result of a long line of decisions in which the BA always concluded that medical use claims are only available for substances and compositions and not for devices. T 2136/15 and T 1069/11 merely confirm T 1758/15. Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzThree point test (former essentiality test) H-V, 3.1 - Not commented in the blog.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzIn spite of the heavy criticism of the Boards for this test, it is still present in the Guidelines. This is a good thing, as it is a good tool when deciding whether a feature can be deleted or not. If the figure is not inextricably linked with the other features of the claim, the deletion can also be considered directly and unambiguously derivable from the original disclosure. The gold standard and the three point test are equally Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzvaluable.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzClarity of parameters in claims- Not commented in the blog.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzThe amendment is nice to look at, but it means that before grant clarity is actually checked by the examining divisions. If the claim is novel and inventive over the prior art, then clarity is often left aside.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzIn opposition, the absence of a method for measuring the parameter can bring about problems. Either the patent is revoked for lack of sufficiency, or determining whether a third party operates within the claimed range is a matter of clarity, and it ends there.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzIt all depends on the Board which will deal with the case. Such a lottery is not good for business, and it is to be hoped that the Enlarged Board will look into the matter one day or another.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzIt is good that T 1931/14 has been added to T 304/08 in F-IV, 4.13. The former decision is much better in the analysis of the situation.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzT decisions in the GuidelinesOct 16 10:25
schestowitzNormally a T decision is only binding in the circumstances it has been taken. The party wanting to use it has to demonstrate that it applies in the new instance.Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzRoughly speaking, the Guidelines are binding for divisions of first instance. They are never binding for the Boards. Oct 16 10:25
schestowitzIt is thus better to have the decisions mentioned as such in the Guidelines rather than to merely refer to their catchword or to quote part of them. The situation is thus much clearer for all. Oct 16 10:25
