Patentability brief

Another provision of interest to chemists is the compulsory filing of a patentability brief, wherein the inventor discusses pertinent literature references and other background information and explains why his invention is patentable in the fight of this background. This requirement for a patentability brief is not in itself disadvantageous. It does, however, present risks to the patent applicant when considered in the context of other provisions of S.2255, particularly that which requires that the inventor, the assignee, and the attorney investigate all sources of information within their possession or control—this surely means within all... 

The first industrial hardboard was developed by W. Mason in the mid-1920s he found that a mat of wet fiber pressed in a hot press would produce a self-bonded flat panel with good strength, durabiUty, and stabiUty. The product was patented in 1928, trademarked as Masonite, and commercial production began. Over time several other processes for producing hardboards have been developed from modifications of the original process. Brief descriptions of these processes foUow and a flow chart of the process is shown in Figure 5. 

Tlie patent should also provide a brief description of any drawings or figures, P. This brief description is often given in the techmeal terms used by engineering draftsmen to explain the various views illustrated in the figures. 

If the patent appHcation is allowed based on an appHcant s response to the second office action, examination is ended. However, if the patent examiner advises the patent appHcant that the rejections will be maintained and the appHcant views these rejections as insurmountable, the patent appHcant may choose to abandon the patent appHcation. If the patent examiner maintains the earHer posed rejections, and the patent appHcant disagrees with the examiner, the patent appHcant may appeal the examiner s decision to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, which is comprised of adininistrative judges. The appeal process involves the noticing and briefing of the appeal, and oral argument before and a subsequent decision from the Board of Appeals and Interferences (step 10). Usually the oral argument is presented to, and subsequent decision is received from, a panel of three administrative judges selected from the full complement of the Board. If the Board panel decides in the appHcant s favor (step 11), the patent appHcation will be passed to issuance (step 12). If the Board decides in the examiner s favor, the patent appHcant will have to consider whether to refile the appHcation and request another round of examination or seek court review. 

In the PCT examination process, national patent applications may be filed at the end of Chapter I (18 months from the home appHcation filing date), or at the end of Chapter II (30 months from the home appHcation filing date). If the examination of the U.S. home appHcation ends successfully before completion of the examination of the counterpart appHcation in PCT Chapter I, the PCT AppHcant may file national appHcations including the claims examined and allowed by the U.S. PTO without proceeding to PCT Chapter II processing. A brief timeline of patent appHcation examination under the PCT is provided in Table I. 

The Platinum Group Metal Reviews is a specialized review series focusiag on the new developments and uses of PGMs. Each issue also provides a brief description of recent patents issued ia the field.

Snorting ketamine gives brief but bizarre effects. See CA 61 5569d or US Patent 3,254,124. for synthesis and the recent writings of John Lilly and others for effects. 

In this chaper, the two principal methods for their synthesis and some of the main applications of functional fluoropolymers will be reviewed. However, as there are many patents and papers as well as several reviews on these subjects, the review will be brief and the primary focus will be on selected applications and specific properties of functional fluoropolymers that can be achieved in highly ordered Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of these polymers. 

Exhibit 1.5 provides a brief explanation of patents. Patents are the pillars that support the drug industry. In contrast, traditional medicines, which are mainly derived from natural products of plant or animal origins, are not patentable. This is because traditional medicines consist of a multitude of compounds and it is difficult to establish patent claims based on varying quantities of materials. 

The past nearly six decades have seen a chronological progression in molecular sieve materials from the aluminosilicate zeolites to microporous silica polymorphs, microporous aluminophosphate-based polymorphs, metallosilicate and metaHo-phosphate compositions, octahedral-tetrahedral frameworks, mesoporous molecular sieves and most recently hybrid metal organic frameworks (MOFs). A brief discussion of the historical progression is reviewed here. For a more detailed description prior to 2001 the reader is referred to [1]. The robustness of the field is evident from the fact that publications and patents are steadily increasing each year. 

The third and last part of the book (Chapters 12-16) deals with zeolite catalysis. Chapter 12 gives an overview of the various reactions which have been catalyzed by zeolites, serving to set the reader up for in-depth discussions on individual topics in Chapters 13-16. The main focus is on reactions of hydrocarbons catalyzed by zeolites, with some sections on oxidation catalysis. The literature review is drawn from both the patent and open literature and is presented primarily in table format. Brief notes about commonly used zeolites are provided prior to each table for each reaction type. Zeolite catalysis mechanisms are postulated in Chapter 13. The discussion includes the governing principles of performance parameters like adsorption, diffusion, acidity and how these parameters fundamentally influence zeolite catalysis. Brief descriptions of the elementary steps of hydrocarbon conversion over zeolites are also given. The intent is not to have an extensive review of the field of zeolite catalysis, but to select a sufficiently large subset of published literature through which key points can be made about reaction mechanisms and zeolitic requirements. 

The discrepancy in numbers between natural and synthetic varieties is an expression of the usefulness of zeolitic materials in industry, a reflection of their unique physicochemical properties. The crystal chemistry of these aluminosilicates provides selective absorbtion and exchange of a remarkably wide range of molecules. Some zeolites have been called molecular sieves. This property is exploited in the purification and separation of various chemicals, such as in obtaining gasoline from crude petroleum, pollution control, or radioactive waste disposal (Mumpton, 1978). The synthesis of zeolites with a particular crystal structure, and thus specific absorbtion characteristics, has become very competitive (Fox, 1985). Small, often barely detectable, changes in composition and structure are now covered by patents. A brief review of the crystal chemistry of this mineral group illustrates their potential and introduces those that occur as fibers. 

A considerable body of industrial patent literature exists relating to 3,7-diaminodibenzothiophenes. Unfortunately many otherwise interesting compounds appear without details of preparation or proof of structure therefore, only brief coverage of this material is given below. 

A considerable amount of data concerning actual or suggested applications of various types of oxa/thia-2-azoles has appeared mainly in the patent literature. This covers many areas, such as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, polymer, and photographic materials, etc. Some derivatives are commercially important with a variety of industrial uses. A brief account is given below.
