For Enlarged Board decisions, word spreads fast. The IPKat credits his sources provided they are happy to be named, and in this case the kind reader who sent it to us had not confirmed that this would be appropriate by the time I posted the article.David Brophyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756548361266218916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-24333395292860826992015-03-26T13:54:13.970+00:002015-03-26T13:54:13.970+00:00Can somebody explain to me how you and the writers...Can somebody explain to me how you and the writers from eplawblog, le blog du droit européen de brevets and so on have got the decision?<br />It has still not been officially publish on the EPO BoA website.Interested BoA watchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-53321404504910655902015-03-26T13:32:27.394+00:002015-03-26T13:32:27.394+00:00Years ago, the EPO at The Hague held a conference ...Years ago, the EPO at The Hague held a conference on "Patent Quality". As we speak, the USPTO is having its own such Conference. For me, G3/14 raises the bar on "Quality" very significantly. Here's why.<br /><br />In the context of amendment post-grant, consider the difference between i) an amendment involving no more than folding a dependent claim into Claim 1, and ii) injecting into Claim 1 something from the description. The former a doddle, the latter a nightmare.<br /><br />Now go back to the time of drafting the patent application. How much time is it worth investing in drafting dependent claims?<br /><br />Now think: all this time spent on the dependent claims. What does it do for the "Quality" of your drafting?<br /><br />Which patent jurisdiction apart from the EPO puts such a high premium on getting the dependent claims right first time?
