| schestowitz[TR2] | "If the answer to 2) is a flat “no”, then many telecoms cases will have issues post-grant with claims deemed to be meaningless.<br /><br />For example, many telecoms cases are granted by the EPO with claim 1 defining something general like a “terminal” and then use ultra-specific terminology such as “RRC layer” or “MAC CE”. Without reading the description (which is, after all, before the claims in the granted patent | Jul 04 05:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ), how is the skilled person meant to know that the claim is for 5G-like technology?<br /><br />Same goes for many areas of standards related technology that I work on, such as video or audio decoding. <br /><br />These sorts of cases have claim language that is clear in context – but the context is obtained from the description." | Jul 04 05:49 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | BREAKING: Referral to the Enlarged Board of Appeal on claim interpretation confirmed (G1/24) - The IPKat | Jul 04 06:00 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "That the EPO interprets claims in a different manner than courts has its origin in the genesis of the EPC.<br /><br />It is often forgotten that the EPC is a follow-up to the four drafts for a European patent monopoly under the umbrella of the then EC, later the EU. Those four drafts remained drafts. The upcoming of the PCT has brought some member states to worry about being flooded with unexamined patents. This is why some EPC me | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | mber states refuse a PCT direct access. IT now allows the PCT direct route. <br /><br />The negotiations reopened on the basis of those four drafts. You will find in the “Travaux Préparatoires” lots of references to the four drafts. <br /><br />During the renewed negotiations, a compromise was achieved. The EPC was to become an open convention, i.e. not restricted to CE/EU member states, but the EPO would only grant a patent. | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The way the patent monopoly and the corresponding rights are exercised was a matter for national courts, or now the UPC, in which the granted EP will have been validated. <br /><br />We came thus from a fully integrated system in which grant and exploitation of the title were in the hands of a single unit, like in an national system with examination, e.g. Germany, to a system in which grant and exploitation of the title were separa | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ted. <br /><br />In this situation, with a dichotomy between grant and exploitation of the patent, it was necessary to have an Art like Art 69 on the interpretation of the claims. The Protocol on interpretation of #Art 69 made clear that the interpretation should not be as strict as the former English interpretation, but not as lenient as the former German interpretation. It should be somehow in-between. The protocol mentions equiv | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | alents without ever defining what equivalents could be. In the Diplomatic Conference of 2000, the EPO proposed a definition of equivalents. This was not accepted by the member states. <br /><br />It is however clear that interpretation when it comes to infringement can be different, to be precise broader, than the interpretation during prosecution. A good example is the pemetrexed case, were equivalents played an important role. In | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the absence of any mention in the original application of equivalents, a broad claim to pemetrexed had to be refused by the examiner in charge under Art 123(2). <br /><br />It might be possible to align the interpretation of the EPO and its boards with that of the UPC on inventive step, but an alignment in matters of novelty and added matter seems difficult in view of the “golden standard”. It would need a new decision of the | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | EBA to abandon the “golden standard”. Whether the UPC is prepared to accept the "golden standard" remains to be seen. <br /><br />Just look at Reasons 1.8 of T 1168/22 published on 02.07.2024: “Firstly, equivalence of a claimed feature with parts of the original disclosure is not sufficient to provide for such a feature a direct and unambiguous disclosure according to the so-called gold standard (see G 2/10, reasons | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 4.3)”. However, infringement by equivalents can be envisaged. <br /><br />The EPO is not ignoring Art 69, but when looking at the diverging case law of the boards in this matter, the necessity of a referral cannot be denied. There could be as many interpretations as national courts. In this respect why should the interpretation of the UPC be any better than that of any other national court, be it in EU member states or not. <b | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | r /><br />The referring board related its questions to Art 52-57, but, for apparently good reasons, did not mention Art 123(2). In this respect a “disclaimer” on Art 54(1 to 3) could appear appropriate in order not to jeopardise the “gold standard”." | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "I welcome the Art 69 question referral. I recall Robin Jacob's "intellectually dishonest" criticism of the EPO line on Art 52 religibility but to my mind it is not intellectually dishonest to separate the issue of what the claim means from the issue of what amounts to an "equivalent" infringement of it. The age-old maxim that what comes after and infringes will, if coming before, prejudice novelty is not holy w | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | rit, is it? I prefer clean and predictable pre-grant ex parte examination of patentability at the EPO to endless argument about what is the "scope of protection" of the claim under Art 69 EPC." | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "This is not an issue. The claims in 5G cases can be hard to decipher and can generalize the specific embodiments description, but that is true of many patents. If the applicant wants their claim to be limited to 5G, they need to put some 5G terminology into the claims; otherwise the claims might inadvertently read onto 4G, or even something else. The EPO telecoms examiners are perfectly amenable to highly specific acronyms being i | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ncluded in claims. See EP3361820B1, EP3602890B1, EP3349487B1, EP3776967B1, EP3858037B1 as trivial examples of differing breadths. The basic point is, if you claim a "base station", you can't argue that the 4G prior art documents are irrelevant because your description is all about gNBs; the claims are too broad." | Jul 04 06:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "Can anybody confirm that these three questions are limited (by the words "patent claims" in Q1) to post-grant proceedings, despite their use of "patentability" rather than "validity"? After all, prior to grant, when ED's are free to object under Art 84, EPC, there isn't any need for EBA clarification, is there?" | Jul 04 06:01 |
