Office Rule

Patent Office Rule 222 provides for amendment of preliminary statements. However, this procedure is no substitute for careful preparation. One should not give up the search for earlier dates and records but should consider the Patent Office Board of Patent Interferences recent decision (12) denying a motion to amend because of no showing that a proper degree of effort and care was exercised in preparing the original statement. 

The first and most basic paper pertaining to patents which needs the inventor s signature is the oath. This is a required instrument without which no patent application can be filed, since the Patent Office rules prescribe that a patent application to be examined by the Patent Office must be accompanied by an oath, a petition for the grant of the patent, and the filing fee. The oath is, in most cases, a formal document which states the country of which the applicant is a citizen fit has been held that the inventor intends to become a U.S. citizen is unacceptable (2), but the statement that he is a citizen of no country was accepted (13). It also states that the applicant believes himself to be the first and original inventor of the improvement described and claimed in the attached specification that he does not know and does not believe that the same was ever known or used before his invention thereof or patented or described in any printed publication in any country before his invention thereof or more than one year prior to the application, or in public use or on sale in the United States more than one year prior to the application that the invention has not been patented in any country foreign...

In some situations, companies may be reluctant to distribute products without a patent. For example, a company may own a new chemical compound that is useful in its own industrial processes, which it would sell for use by the general public if it could retain its proprietary right in the chemical. However, if the chemical is readily analyzable, distribution would destroy the company s trade secret rights. Lack of a patent therefore is impeding sale of the product. The Patent and Trademark Office rules provide that, where lack of a patent is preventing distribution of a product, a patent applicant may apply to have its application made special and expedited.

Physical examinations, employee training and educational programs, medical protection, and record keeping, among others, are required. The regional OSHA office should be consulted for the latest rules and regulations.

This knowledge is also important in order to determine if air tests conducted by OSHA compliance officers are valid. For example, if threshold limit value in the health standard is an 8-hour time-weighted average, the air sample should be obtained by sampling over the entire shift in the employee s breathing zone. It cannot be measured by a few short term samples, even if spaced over the full shift unless the worker is in a relatively fixed location with no variation in his work procedure or in the process. Such an event is generally the exception rather than the rule.

A more detailed document in the form of a health and safety manual. This manual would include the company s policy statement, company rules, safe working procedures, etc., and would normally be located in a nominated office. It is necessary in using this method that all staff are made aware of its contents and its location. 

This rule varies from state to state. Some materials are exempt from Nuclear Regulatory Commission or State licensing requirements. Most institutions already have an institutional license which would specify the safety officer. It would be well for the clinical chemistry laboratory to check with this individual before beginning to use radioactive materials. If there is no license, many manufacturers of isotope materials will assist the laboratory in obtaining the proper license.

A better method for the presentation of data on flow-sheets is shown in Figure 4.2. In this method each stream line is numbered and the data tabulated at the bottom of the sheet. Alterations and additions can be easily made. This is the method generally used by professional design offices. A typical commercial flow-sheet is shown in Figure 4.3. Guide rules for the layout of this type of flow-sheet presentation are given in Section 4.2.5. 

This pocket guide contains selected rules of thumb and shortcut design methods meant to travel into the field as well as the office, even when the office is a hotel room. It contains updates on certain fast-moving technology and new material not found elsewhere. Miniaturization and easy retrieval of information are stressed. Those on the go can produce reasonable results quickly when using this book as a basic source.

PERM acronym derived from the former name of the Fermentation Research Institute (FRI), in Japan, which later became the Patent Microorganism Depository of the National Institute of Bioscience and Human Technology (NIBH). As previously mentioned, the Budapest Treaty requires deposition of the biological material subject to a patent application. In Japan and some other countries, an applicant for a patent concerning a microorganism has to submit a receipt of that deposition to the Patent Office at filing. The depository checks viability and would furnish a sample of the microorganism to a third party only for study and research, under the established rules of the treaty.
