schestowitzThanks Santa. Perhaps the distinction between these two types of technical effect you identify partly reflects the sufficiency/inventive step division? I agree with the challenge of defining criteria for allowing post-filed comparative data in a system that permits the use of hindsight to identify the problem to be solved in view of the closest prior art.May 05 04:41
