2 What was observed in inventive- step question…  Previous special topics ( ): “Deeper Harmonization in Inventive Step/ Non-Obviousness Determination”  Y/N varied with respect to a single hypothetical case with same prior art references…  Different conclusions may result from diversion in claim interpretation rules and practices existing in APAA RGs…

3 Invention is:  Intangible when conceived  Exclusive once patented  Application as filed  Claims/specification/drawings  Different phases  During prosecution  After grant  Validity/infringement  Who to determine?

Questionnaire  Group A Questions  Claim interpretation after grant on “patented” invention  Group B Questions  Claim interpretation before grant during prosecution  Group C Questions  Description requirement for claims as one of patentability requirements applicable both before and after grant

6 A: Relationship between the Claim and the Scope of Protection A5: Is the Doctrine of Equivalents (DOE) applicable? -Broadening rule A6: Is the File History Estoppel (FHE) applicable? -Narrowing rule A7: Means-plus-function claim? A10: Product-by-process claim?

7 B: Claim Interpretation during Examination of Patent Applications B1: Is claim interpretation under examination the same as that applied for after infringement and validity actions in the Courts? -For assessing e.g., inventive step -”Reasonably broadest scope”? -Any difference between validity/infringement? validity/infringement?
