And now on to what will probably be the most valuable information in this post. Here are all the questions I remember that I had never seen before 1. AIA Company A files for a patent after March 1. January 3, 2. 01. Company A sues Company B for infringement, and Company B files a counterclaim for invalidity based on a prior sales of Company A. Company B wants to initiate PGR in the PTO. Company B requests PGR on October 1. The request says prior sales of Company A means that there is a reasonable likelihood that Company B will prevail in invalidating at least one claim in the patent. PTO rejects the request for PGR, whyI request cannot be based on prior salesII request uses the wrong standard, reasonable likelihood only applies for IPRIII request was untimely. The answer was II and III. You needed to know that PGR must be initiated within 9 months of the patent issue date. But III didnt specify WHY the request was untimely, so the question might be trying to trick you into thinking it has to do with the counterclaim rule Once a litigant files a declaratory judgment action for invalidity, he is precluded from requesting PGR, but filing a declaratory judgment counterclaim is OK. AIA a patent application was filed BEFORE March 1. AFTER March 1. 6, 2. A competitor wants to challenge validity before the BOARD. What can he doA something with PGRB something with PGRC something with PGRD something with IPRE something with ex parte reexam. I answered D. PGR doesnt work because the patent application was filed before March 1. Both IPR and ex parte reexam work, but only IPR would go to the BOARD, ex parte reexam would go to an examiner. AIA Company A has a patent and accuses Company B of infringement. Company B discovers prior sales of Company A and accuses Company A of inequitable conduct. What can Company A do Answer was the only choice that involved supplemental examination. AIA Which is correct about the transitional program for covered business method patents I believe the correct answer was a person may not file a petition for a transitional proceeding with respect to a covered business method patent unless the person or the persons real party in interest or privy has been sued for infringement or has been charged with infringement under that patent which is in AIA Sec. B. 5. means plus function claims Applicant wants to make absolutely sure that claim language does not get construed as a means plus function term. Which of the following would workA component for sending informationB element for sending informationC something for sending informationD all of the aboveE none of the above. I found this question to be rather tricky because my understanding was that even if you do not use means for it is still possible though unlikely that the claim language will be construed as a mpf term. MPEP 2. 18. 1. But, I chose E because the MPEP says Thus, absent an express recitation of means for or step for in the limitation, the broadest reasonable interpretation will not be limited to corresponding structureand equivalents thereof. I figured this is what the question was driving at, but Im not sure. Time calculations Which of the following is correctI If the due date falls on a Sunday, then any extension is calculated from the following Monday if not a Federal HolidayII A 3. Office means 3. 0 calendar daysIII If there is a 3 month SSP set in an office action dated February 2. May 2. 8 and not on the last day of May. Answer was II and III. Straight out of MPEP 7. Question was which of the following is trueAnswer was verbatim from MPEP 2. Delay alone is not sufficient to infer the requisite intent to abandon. Applicant files for a French patent on April 2, 2. French patent issues on May 5, 2. Applicant then files U. S. application on June 5, 2. What rejections are proper based on the French patentA 1. B 1. 02bC 1. D 1. E 1. 02b and 1. I chose C. Patent Term Adjustment Long fact pattern with tons of red herrings, but it was deceptively easy. Answer choices went through various permutations of why or why not applicant would be entitled to patent term adjustment and how much adjustment. But the correct answer was simply that the applicant was not entitled to patent term adjustment because the application was filed on May 1. Install Dbms_Network_Acl_Admin Package. May 2. 9, 2. 00. 0. MPEP 2. 71. 0. There was also an RCE submitted after May 2. MPEP 2. 73. 0. 1. PCT Applicant files a PCT application on February 2. On March 2. 0, Office sends notice of missing parts and gives 1 month to file name and claims. Applicant files name on April 1. April 1. 1. What is the filing dateA February 2. B March 2. 0C April 1. D April 1. 1E April 2. I chose D. 1. 1. Provisional Double Patenting A question asked in which situation would it be appropriate to make double patenting andor provisional double patenting rejections. The answer choices had different situations where there was a double patenting rejection, a provisional double patenting rejection, or both, and the earlier patentapplication was owned by various combinations of inventors and assignees. I wasnt sure of the answer, but 3 answer choices had a provisional double patenting rejection based on an ISSUED U. S. patent, so I eliminated those. The other 2 choices had a provisional double patenting rejection based on a copending application. But only 1 of those 2 choices had a situation where there was any sort of common ownership, so thats the answer I chose. The Nonprofit Sector A Research Handbook more. Protest A protest was filed after publication, citing prior sales. There were facts thrown in about the date of the first office action and the date of the notice of allowance.
