-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | BREAKING: Kymab caught the mouse as sufficiency strengthened by UK Supreme Court in Regeneron battle ([2020] UKSC 27) - The IPKatJun 28 07:49
schestowitzAs far as the two patents are concerned, the following can be said:Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzEP1360287 has been maintained in amended form after the remaining opponent has failed to file grounds of appeal following the maintenance in amended form after a first appeal. In a first decision the OD had revoked the patent.Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzEP2264163 is based on a divisional of EP1360287. The opposition has been rejected and appeal proceedings are pending. Since February 2019 nothing has happened in appeal….. It is to be hoped that the board will now look into the matter as at least a decision on sufficiency has been given by the UK Supreme Court.Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzSufficiency and infringement by equivalents are two different topics which should not be mixed. Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzIn the Kymab case, it was clear that the only one example given in the patent was not working. In this respect the present case cannot be compared with the pemetrexed disodium case, as in the latter there was one working example disclosed. Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzA broad general contribution does not have to be rewarded if there is not at least one way disclosed how to implement that general contribution. Allowing this kind of patent would actually stifle research. It appears more to be then a scientific theory which is as such not patentable. Patents cannot be granted on more theoretical considerations. Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzThe UK Supreme Court was right in stating that the patent bargain was not satisfied if the benefits of an invention could only be realised after the priority date, if and when all embodiments within the range could be made.Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzIn T 875/11 it was held that an example was not necessary in order to enable an invention, but here it was about a device and the strength of a hoisting cable had to be exceeding 2000N/mm2. The open range was not a bar to sufficiency. In T 2146/09, one example was given, but the OD was held to be too restrictive in its interpretation of Art 83 in the case of a CII.Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzThose cases are quite different from the present one which is in a totally different field in which sufficiency plays a much bigger role. Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzI would therefore not say that the UK and the EPO Boards of Appeal are not aligned on sufficiency.Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzAs said, pemetrexed disodium is not a case which can point the way forward in matters of sufficiency. Sufficiency was never at stake in this case. There was one clear way, but only one, to carry out the invention, that is pemetrexed disodium. Jun 28 07:49
schestowitzThat decision of the UK court is actually a premium for slap dash and quick drafting. The examiner in charge was right to request the limitation to pemetrexed disodium as it was the only example given in the whole application. He should however have insisted to bring the description in accordance with what was actually claimed. By leaving in the description a lot of gobbledygook it allowed the applicant/proprietor to later claim Jun 28 07:50
schestowitzmuch more than it had actually contributed to the art. Jun 28 07:50
schestowitzAfter pemetrexed disodium how will it possible to draft a reliable FTO study? It is nice to refer to the DoE, the problem is that nowhere, not even in the protocol on interpretation of Art 69, a definition of what an equivalent should be can be found. If it was an attempt to overcome the disastrous “Improve” decision, a better case than pemetrexed disodium should have been chosen by the UK Supreme Court. Jun 28 07:50

schestowitz"Making a fundamental invention and then loosing the patent for insufficiency of the claimed invention smells like a fundamental error in the process. Maybe product claims were the wrong category for the contribution of the invention. A process claim with the benefits of Article 64(2) EPC may have done the trick. In any case, an instructive ruling."Jun 28 08:02

schestowitz"Jun 28 08:02
schestowitzTo NFH: Kymab were using a different process. So a method claim or a product claim directed to Regeneron's actual mouse would not have helped.Jun 28 08:02
schestowitzWhatever the specifics of the case, the argument "your patent wouldn't enable the production of my product due to this new and improved feature, therefore your patent is insufficient" will presumably become more common.Jun 28 08:02

schestowitzThat's a good comment from NFH. Was the patent owner unwilling to come down to a narrower claim for fear of letting the infringer escape? Jun 28 08:03
schestowitzIn the meantime though, the pemetrexid (di-sodium) case might point the way forward: claim relatively focussed, and let the DoE do the rest.Jun 28 08:03

schestowitz"Jun 28 08:04
schestowitzHow was it, that for four of the Supreme Court Five, the argument "protection commensurate with the contribution" failed? Jun 28 08:04
schestowitzThe answer is at para. 54, where Exxon and Biogen are accorded the status of holy writ. For Lord Briggs, in patent law, an inventive concept is either i) a product or ii) a process. Nothing else is conceivable. So, given the thoroughly established, indeed unassailable, law of sufficiency of a "product claim", it was "end of story" as soon as the claim in front of his nose is agreed to be (as in Biogen) a "product claim". Jun 28 08:04
schestowitzWhen a Supreme Court is obliged to choose between a desirable objective "commensurate with the contribution" and a public policy imperative "enabled over the full scope" it has, in reality, no choice but to uphold the imperative. Otherwise, the results will be unhelpful and immediately problematic.Jun 28 08:04
schestowitzI'm left a bit disappointed at the paucity of enquiry and analysis of the situation when an "inventive and ground-breaking general principle" is claimed as a "product". Given that the inventor of every little improvement to any old household article of commerce gets a full 20 years, it seems a bit poor to deprive those who disclose a game-changing ground-breaking general principle of any protection just because they chose to expressJun 28 08:04
schestowitztheir inventive concept in the form of a "product claim".Jun 28 08:04
schestowitzBut I don't practise in this field. Perhaps those that do can reassure me that they still can secure a scope of protection commensurate with their contribution to the art.Jun 28 08:04

schestowitz"Justice was done. The patentee should not have sued a party whose product clearly indicated lack of enablement of the patent. The Supreme Court I am sure was shocked by the fact that the patentee was suing based on a claim that had an enablement hole exactly where the infringement was. That was asking for trouble, and it paid the price"Jun 28 08:06

schestowitzI mean SaaSS in the sense defined in https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.en.htmlJun 28 19:54
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.gnu.org | Who Does That Server Really Serve? - GNU Project - Free Software FoundationJun 28 19:54
schestowitz“Concretely, it means that someone sets up a network server that does certain computing tasks—for instance, modifying a photo, translating text into another language, etc.—then invites users to do computing via that server. A user of the server would send her data to the server, which does her own computing on the data thus provided, then sends the results back to her or acts directly on her behalf.”Jun 28 19:54
schestowitzpart of my concern is not knowing what the project is up to. hosting and publishing code is publishing, not SaaSS. communication (e.g. bug tracking, mailing lists) is not SaaSS either. but merge computing is something that has historically been done on users’ computers, but some pull request management systems have moved that to the clown ;-)Jun 28 19:54
schestowitzwhen the computing is done on the server, I think the relationship between the service provider, on the one hand, and the served user/community becomes key. if the service is run by members of the community, then it’s the community running the computing in its own servers, not SaaSS. but if the service is run by a third party that’s not also using the service as a member of the same community, then it may be SaaSS. and then, Jun 28 19:54
schestowitzthere are complications about community boundaries: is “Free Software community” the right boundary to say both are members of the same community? is it the global software development community? or is it the development community of that specific program? are other community members entitled to equal access to the server? can the community itself decide who does? these all seem relevant questions to ask to tell whether there’Jun 28 19:54
schestowitzs any SaaSS in there. but though I have some questions, I don’t have the answers. it’s an issue that AFAICT has not been debated in the community as to be settled matter. as urgent as a freedom-respecting software development and collaboration platform is, it would be Very Bad ™ if the FSF were to make a move that, if made by anyone else, might make room for criticism for departure from software freedom values and core free Jun 28 19:54
