| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The morality (and patentability) of inventions derived by immoral means (T 2510/18) - The IPKat | Feb 19 14:18 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "I'm coming this rather belatedly but it seems to me that the BoA has got it right on the moral point and very wrong on the substantive patentability point. <br /><br />As regards morality, the question of whether the source of the knowledge was legitimately obtained must surely be a question for national law. That's not to say that _exploitation_ of the invention is solely a matter for national law - the EPO is quite within its r | Feb 19 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ights as a transnational organisation to decide that patents are not to be granted for legal acts in various states including contracting states, just as member states can rule that patentable subject matter is not legal - but here this is not the question. How is the EPO to judge the background of the invention in a patent, and how far back should that analysis go? Given the identical patent monopoly disclosure, would (and shoul | Feb 19 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | d) the outcome be different if the inventor was a member of the traditional community at issue? How about for a commercial entity that "purchased" that knowledge from such a community? How can the EPO assess this? <br /><br />Where the EPO is manifestly wrong, though, is in finding a claim that embraces every possible embodiment of a known and publicly available substance to be new. This cannot be right. <br /><br /> | Feb 19 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It seems to me that the flaw in reasoning is the Board's conflation of the gold standard for amendments/priority and that for novelty. Clearly, a direct and unambiguous prior disclosure of an invention _will_ be novelty-destroying – that is obvious - but Art 54 extends this to the whole state of the art that is made available to the public by any means and at any time, regardless of the level of its description. If the inventio | Feb 19 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | n is a compound, then more precision is needed than made available in the art such that the claimed invention has not been disclosed: the patentee could have looked to purity levels, specific compositions, new uses, or pretty much anything else. But by the Board's logic I should now be able to validly claim the same compound using a different terminology (e.g. defining certain groups in the compound in functional terms, e.g. a gr | Feb 19 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | oup which binds to a specific residue in a binding site in a protein) which could not be derived from this patent monopoly (thus passing the non-disclosure test). This can't be right. <br /><br />The conflation with infringement seems most helpful as an illustration. Of course a later patent monopoly can create FTO risks for known inventions: we all know a specific formulation of a drug can be patented in view of the drug being k | Feb 19 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nown, or a new medical use can be patented in view of a compound's more general use. But insofar as there is an infringement question, the point is surely that the claim cannot embrace *every* possible embodiment of what was known before. In other words, if the claim embraces any and all possible forms, uses and compositions of the natural product (which it does) then it cannot be novel. If it only covers some uses/forms and tho | Feb 19 14:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | se are not known in the art, then we can (potentially) acknowledge novelty and move onto inventive step. <br /><br />And yes I would have denied Flemming a patent monopoly for penicillin if the claim embraced a naturally occurring foxglove plant. He can have a novel claim to an isolated/purified form of the compound, or a pharmaceutical composition that comprises it, and we can then argue whether or not that claim is inventive bas | Feb 19 14:18 |
