| schestowitz[TR2] | The managers from at will countries such as the US and Canada, forget that countries in the EU have employment laws and they are legally required to create a safe work environment and demonstrate reasonable mitigation of issues. So if you’re based in UK and your manager is in San Jose, you’re almost guaranteed a bad time. | Apr 12 05:19 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | Beware of boilerplate: Practical lessons for patent drafting from G1/24 (Claim interpretation) - The IPKat | Apr 12 20:01 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "The question behind the referral in G 1/24 can also be summarised as follows: can the patent monopoly be its own dictionary? If this is the case, the applicant/proprietor can bring in the description any definition he wishes, even if it contradicts the meaning the skilled person would determine from the claim wording. <br /><br />In such a situation, a boilerplate definition incorporated in the description, with or without AI, sho | Apr 12 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | uld not be a problem. <br /><br />That definitions obtained by Hey Hi (AI) are highly unsuitable and in many cases overly narrowing does not come as a surprise. <br /><br />The problem can also be that the definition of a claimed feature in the description might be broader than the ordinary meaning of the claimed feature. And then we are heading towards a nice “Angora cat”. <br /><br />Whether the definition in the description | Apr 12 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | is broader or more limited with respect to the ordinary meaning of a claimed feature, there is a discrepancy between claim and description. Said discrepancy has to be corrected before a decision to grant can be issued. I would say that this discrepancy leads to the conclusion that the claim is not properly supported by the description.<br /><br />Allowing such a discrepancy is completely ignoring the primacy of the claims. What goo | Apr 12 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | d is it to have claims, if the applicant/proprietor is allowed to alter the meaning given by the skilled person to a claimed feature by giving it a different meaning in the description?<br /><br />The way to solve the discrepancy is to bring claim and description is accordance with each other. Either the definition of the description is brought into the claim or the feature of the claim is brought in the description. If this is don | Apr 12 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | e correctly, the risk of being faced with an “Angora cat" is remote. This is actually what you propose. <br /><br />If the ED had correctly ascertained the different definition of “gathered” in the definition, and requested that claim and description were put in accordance with each other, we might not have ended with G 1/24. <br /><br />The question of the adaptation of the description is linked to a certain extent wit | Apr 12 20:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | h the referral G 1/24. The representatives of the president during the OP pleaded for a reply in G 1/24 on this topic as well. It is doubtful that the EBA will follow this request. <br /><br />Whilst in T 56/21, the board refrained to refer to the EBA the question of the adaptation of the description, and decided by itself, there is a referral on the way in EP 2 124 521 B1 (T 697/22).
