An amendment of a complete specification is not allowable at any time if the amendment would result in the specification claiming or disclosing matter that “extends beyond” that disclosed the specification as originally filed (together with other prescribed documents). Adding a proviso that simply limits the scope of a claim is allowable even where the subject matter dealt with in the proviso was not itself disclosed in the specification as filed, but providing that the proviso is not added in a manner that adds to the disclosure. However, an amendment is not allowable if it is an intermediate generalisation. The main test is whether the PSA is being presented with any new information about the invention which is not directly and unambiguously apparent from the original disclosure. In this article, Principal and Chemical/ Life Sciences Leader Australia, Michael Zammit, PhD outlines what you need to know.

In the dynamic bioeconomy landscape, intellectual property (IP) disputes are frequent, often revolving around intricate concepts such as "freedom to operate" and "patent infringement." These legal battles depend on precisely interpreting terms within contracts, patent claims, or specifications. Companies involved in IP litigation frequently require expert witnesses to navigate these complex matters, as the outcome of lawsuits can depend on nuanced technical interpretations. Intellectual property encompasses a wide range of intangible creations, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, each governed by distinct laws that vary by country. Patents, which grant inventors exclusive rights in exchange for public disclosure, are particularly critical in the bioeconomy. However, the intangible nature of IP presents unique challenges, as the boundaries of a patent are defined by its language, rather than physical demarcations. Given the complexity of technology and the specialized language used in patents, expert witnesses are indispensable for accurately interpreting patent claims and specifications. The selection of an expert witness is a critical decision, as they must not only have impeccable credentials, but also possess the ability to communicate complex technical details in a manner that is understandable to juries. In the high-stakes world of bioeconomy IP litigation, expert witnesses play a pivotal role, often determining the outcomes of these intricate legal battles. https://lnkd.in/grDF3uUa #bioeconomy #intellectualproperty #IP #freedomtooperate #biofuels #biotechnology #expertwitness #attorneys

If you would like to understand the UK patent examination process in more detail, come and talk to us. Our post below provides more details on the compliance period requirements and the unexpected limitations it may impart to divisional applications.
Did you know the that in the UK you have only a limited amount of time to place your patent application in order for allowance and this same period also applies to any divisional applications you file? UK Patent law has always provided a limited time for examination of a patent application, to reduced periods of uncertainty in the market. This period is called the compliance period and is the longer of 4.5 years from the earliest filing date, or 12 months from issue of the first examination report. If Examination does not run smoothly it is possible to extend this period, but only by 2 months on request and thereafter any further extensions are discretionary. if your patent application covers more than one invention, it is possible to divide any additional inventions into separate divisional applications. In addition to various other requirements for filing a divisional application, the parent application must still be pending and there must be at least three months of the compliance period on the parent application left when the divisional application is filed. In addition, the compliance deadline for any divisional application will be the unextendible compliance deadline of the parent application. Which means that there can be little time for negotiation with the Examiner for a divisional application filed late in the compliance period for the parent application. In view of these deadlines, we generally recommend that you consider whether or not you need a divisional application at all stages of examination of a patent application, because early filing of the divisional can simplify the examination process of that divisional application by providing more time to consider any objections that may be raised. Our attorney's are happy to talk to you and explain how these requirements apply to your UK patent application portfolio.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗺𝗮 I remember working with a client in the chemical industry, who was grappling with an impurity problem in their new process for manufacturing an API. They were stuck and frustrated, unsure of how to proceed further. Then, our team at EXCELON IP - Patent & Trademark Attorneys stepped in. We evaluated their manufacturing process at every step, identified the root cause of the issue, and recommended solutions based on patents that had already expired. Just like that, with a few trials, they were able to modify their process and achieve the desired purity and yield. That's when I realized how powerful intellectual property assets can be, not just in driving innovation but in resolving challenges in the industry. This experience has helped me appreciate the value of a strong IP portfolio and redefined my perspective on how to approach problems in the industry. So, if you're ever feeling stuck, or you're facing a challenge, remember the potential of IP assets. They could be the key to your solution. It might not be easy, but I promise you, it's worth it.
