schestowitzArticle 90(3) in conjunction with Rule 57 f) EPC obliges the Receiving Section to examine whether the designation of the inventor has been made in accordance with Rule 19(1) EPC. This presupposes that the required indications have been given, otherwise the application has to be refused pursuant to Art. 90(5) EPC. Without this requirement, the EPO could not safeguard the inventorā€™s moral right to be mentioned in the patent in accordance Jan 31 05:59

schestowitzA few years agon there was a development for combinatorial chemistry were combinations of elements would automatically be created and analyzed for particular properties (one was fluorescence, I believe). Were an improved compound to pop out of this machine, who would have been the inventor?

schestowitzThe decisions seem to be a triumph of form over philosophy, and it is to be hoped there are appeals.Jan 31 05:59
schestowitzAs for the reference in paragraph 26 to Article 60(1) ā€“ what about Article 60(2) ā€¦If two or more persons have made an invention independently of each other, the right to a European patent therefor shall belong to the person whose European patent application has the earliest date of filing, provided that this first application has been published. So in the present case if someone had filed for the identical invention a day after the Jan 31 05:59
schestowitzpresent applications, they could not get a patent because the earlier application would be 54(3) prior art ā€“ whereas the earlier applicant could not get a patent because the ā€œinventorā€ was a non-person.Jan 31 05:59
schestowitzGiven the increasing use of AI tools, I can see the possibility of infringers in litigation seeking to show that the person named as inventor was not an inventor and the inventor was in fact a ā€œnon-personā€.Jan 31 05:59
