In my patent class, I simply had my college students act like patent-examiners and write rejections for pending patent claims. These are all real-cases that not too long ago printed and haven’t but been examined. My query what ought to I do with their outcomes:
- Have the scholars submit their prior artwork to the PTO under 37 CFR § 1.290 and 35 U.S.C. § 122(e)?
- Have the scholars ship their prior artwork to the patent lawyer who filed the circumstances? or
- Just sit on it and see whether or not the Examiner finds the identical or higher prior artwork?
Third occasion 122(e) Submissions:
My patent legislation college students simply did a patent-examination train (looking for prior artwork + writing rejections). These are actual circumstances that haven’t but been examined.
My query for the group — What ought to I do with their outcomes.
