hey patent dudes:

Let's say an examiner is examining an application claiming priority from a jumbo spec provisional, with other siblings filed on the same day claiming priority to same provisional, where sibling discloses, but doesn't claim, claims at issue. Does the examiner issue double patenting rejection over every other patent and non-abandoned application with a "comprising" transitional phrase in any claim, on the theory that, e.g., claims from other patent + spec from sibling = obvious to do claimed invention along with invention from patent because the spec from sibling (a programmable computer/system/etc. can be programmed to do more than one thing on the same time; obvious to use one computer to save money instead of buying two computers)?

No. Go reread MPEP 804 II.B.1. "When considering whether the invention defined in a claim of an application would have been an obvious variation of the invention defined in the claim of a patent, the disclosure of the patent may not be used as prior art." General Foods v Studiengesellschaft, 972 F2d 1272.

I would appeal that twice from Sunday, and win every time, because there's no good reason that the logic applying to a sibling patent's disclosure wouldn't apply to the sibling application's disclosure. The point of OTDP is to reject over claims that are obvious over one another, not over applications - if you want to reject over the spec, you'd need to 103 it. (Which you can't.)

Sounds like you really want to issue this rejection. I think you should go for it since examiners are immune to consequence from their actions.


By the way have examiners received a memo for the Williamson v Citrix 112f decision yet? My coworkers in the software/controls section are mad upset over it since a huge percent of jp apps claim "module", "unit", etc. (if not "means" straight up) and they have to translate based on the jp app.

it's just a terminal disclaimer you baby

Anyway, I think I'm gonna talk to my SPE about improper timewise extension because I think it's that issue. Parent claims "comprising ABC", child claims "comprising ABD" and C and D are both novel. Except it's a child, so the "timewise" part doesn't apply. Ugh.

e: What I forgot before is the sibling isn't available as prior art because it has the same effective filing date, d'oh.
