Printed Publications

Commercially available P.O.46 types are usually quite transparent. They are employed primarily in packaging printing inks, also in offset and metal deco printing. Publication gravure inks, plastics, especially PVC, LDPE, and elastomers, as well as general industrial paints are suitable media for pigment application. P.O.46 is less solvent resistant than P.R.53 1, but it is faster to alkali and acid. In terms of lightfastness, P.O.46 performs poorly 1/3 and 1/25 SD prints equal only step 1 on the Blue Scale.

Orphan compounds were generally barred from patentability under section 102 of the patent law because they were typically discovered during research on a different disease and their potential use for the rare disease was often discussed in printed publications (Clissold 1995). 

Tjday most researchers wall turn first to the Web rather than to the local library. The Web is now a primary source for news stories and feature articles (even those also available in print). It is also often the first place to look for resources about a subject, such as topic guides, bibliographies, and lists of additional Web links. Summaries of ongoing research programs or forthcoming papers are often available online months ahead of print publication. 

Although not discussed here, substantial development has occurred in the development of computer-based algorithms for text information handling systems. These computer-based text information handling systems provide for data base compilation to support traditional printed publication and also the selective dissemination of the information. 

A person shall be entitled to a patent unless (a) the invention was known or used by others in this country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country, before the invention thereof by the applicant for patent, or (b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in this country, more than one year prior to the date of the application for patent in the United States. .. 

The different definitions of novelty in these important patent systems have far-reaching consequences. An invention may be novel according to U.S. law, even if it lacks absolute novelty as applied by the EPC. For example, if an inventor describes the invention in a printed publication, he must apply for a patent in the United States before one year (according to 102 (b)) has passed - otherwise any right to a U.S. patent is lost. In contrast, the inventor must file his patent application on the publication date, at the latest, if he wants to secure patent protection under the European Patent Convention and the national patent laws of many other countries. 

The cited prior art must consist of printed publications or patents.58... 

Within three months following the filing of a request for reexamination under the provisions of section 302 of this title, the Director will determine whether a substantial new question of patentability affecting any claim of the patent concerned is raised by the request, with or without consideration of other patents or printed publications. On his own initiative, and at any time, the Director may determine whether a substantial new question of patentability is raised by patents and publications discovered by him or cited under the provisions of section 301 of this title. The existence of a substantial new question of patentability is not precluded by the fact that a patent or printed publication was previously cited by or to the Office or considered by the Office, (emphasis added.)... 

A key element of 102(a) prior art is that it relates to the date of the invention by the applicant. For a 102(a) reference date to effectively block the applicant s work, the 102(a) event must have occurred before the date of the invention by the applicant. Flowever, the provisions of 102(b) provide an important limit to the first-to-invent rule. The section of prior art defined in 102(b) is referred to as the absolute bar because it limits how far one can go in antedating a prior art reference to prove earlier invention in the United States. Specifically, a patent for an invention cannot be obtained in the United States if the invention was patented or described in a printed publication (or in public use or on sale in this country), more than 1 year before the date of application for patent in the United States. Thus, even if the applicant made the invention before the 102(b) event, she will be barred from being granted a patent if she does not file the patent application within 1 year of that 102(b) event. Note that 102(b) does not contain the phrase by others as in 102(a). Thus if an applicant publishes her own invention more than 1 year before filing the application for patent, she will be barred by 102(b) from being eligible to be granted a patent in the United States. Likewise, if a 102(b) event by another occurs, apatent applicant in the United States will not be able to antedate the 102(b) event.

When you prepare your tables using word-processing software, a few techniques ensure a smoother transition to either Web or print publication. 

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...

The last condition, of course, is one that cannot be sworn to, and therefore the corresponding wording is absent from the oath the applicant cannot know whether his invention has been filed as a patent application by another so long as that other application has not resulted in a printed publication.

Associations use print publications to sustain member communication between face-to-face meehngs and to provide consistent informahon to all members. The produchon and distribution of periodicals is considered by many members to be the most important benefit of membership, because it allows associahons to carry out their most important function in the most efficient manner — the exchange of information among members.
