Whether we must attribute this to the malignity of matter or to the total depravity of inanimate things, whether the exciting cause is hurry, worry, or what not, the fact remains.” <br /> <br />Nevil Maskelyne (The Art in Magic, 1908)oliverhttp://k-slaw.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352189175211648260.post-14553740290300977832013-02-13T17:08:12.188+01:002013-02-13T17:08:12.188+01:00But so many?

Nobody made a remark about this until the case came to appeal and the board drew the parties' attention to it. I find this quite amazing because <br />-how can one attack a patent on the basis of documents that were not publicly available at the relevant date? <br />- how can the patent proprietor miss this what for me would be the first line of defence?<br />- how can the opposition division not check if documents upon which an opposition is based are publicly availabe at the relevant date?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352189175211648260.post-20954878652251019412013-02-11T10:01:41.097+01:002013-02-11T10:01:41.097+01:00It is interesting to see that the availability to ...It is interesting to see that the availability to the public with regard to the Methrom catalogue has been put into question only during oral proceedings before the Board (it seems from the decision that this argument had apparently not even been raised by the opponent). The patentee had then no chance to provide additional evidence proving that this document had indeed been made available to the public prior to the relevant date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
