schestowitz"Jan 04 01:55
schestowitzThanks for sharing your thoughts. As to your first point, an applicant submits the application with the belief that the invention as described is patentable. If the examining body of competent jurisdiction disagrees, the applicant has an opportunity to amend the claims until they are found to be allowable, or to appeal the refusal. However, any "concession" made by the applicant to obtain a patent is not admission that the allowed claims define the Jan 04 01:55
schestowitzbroadest scope of the invention. Rather, it is a compromise offered in exchange for a grant of IP rights (better to get something than to get nothing). Thus, it is not necessarily a contradiction for the description of the invention to be broader than the allowed claims if one (correctly) presumes that the claims, and not the description, define the scope of protection of the granted patent. As long as the scope of the claims are clear (as required Jan 04 01:55
schestowitzby the EPC), then any description broader than the claims can be understood to be beyond the scope of the patent rights and not confused as to being some alternative interpretation of those rights (that is what the claims are for).Jan 04 01:55
schestowitzThe problem with the Gold Standard (other than the tension between Art 84 and Art 123(2)) is that there is no clear requirement for amending the description. From a practical standpoint, most patents are shelved. The few that are asserted are likely to have sufficient value that the parties (either on their own or through the courts) can spend the time and money to litigate what the patent covers and what it doesn't. This acknowledges that the Jan 04 01:55
schestowitzpatent examiner doesn't, and shouldn't, have the final word in an ex parte proceeding. While the goal of clarity is admirable, and we should want to reduce the number of bad patents that are granted, it also seems like forcing the applicant to commit to the Examiner's interpretation prior to grant is like putting the cart before the horse because patents are not self-enforcing. In the U.S., the USPTO (for better or for worse) has adopted the Jan 04 01:55
schestowitzbroadest reasonable interpretation standard in an attempt to mitigate these sorts of post-grant interpretation issues. If an Examiner believes that the claims are too broad, then the Examiner should make a refusal on that basis and not, instead, force the applicant to hew to the Examiner's interpretation of what the invention is (as opposed to what aspect of the invention the applicant has agreed the claims cover).Jan 04 01:55

schestowitzExcellent arguments, Anonymous. They reminded me of the Pemetrexed litigation, in which the courts gave the claims a wider scope of protection than their literal wording would seem to allow. In that case, an unconformed description might have been more helpful to the court than one strictly conformed to the claims after prosecution amendment. Where's the harm in everybody agreeing that if Applicants wants it, the "support" requirement of Art 84 EPC Jan 04 01:56
schestowitzcan still be met even if the description remains as filed, even on into the B publication?Jan 04 01:56

schestowitzOne consequence of the importation of a DoE (Doctrine of Equivalents) into the EPC is that it wipes out the ages-old maxim that what comes after and infringes would, if coming before, destroy novelty. Could it be that an unintended consequence of the arrival of the DoE is that it clears the way for descriptions to go to B publication without being conformed? Jan 04 01:56
