I believe most of the things we are speaking about are not straight prior art, but they can -should- be used to claim obviousness. As far as I understand, if it can be showed, based on prior inventions, that the patent claims are obvious for any engineer, then the patent is invalid. Is this the plan?Received on Tuesday, 2 September 2003 12:46:10 GMT
