PHARMA QUIZ 3 WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 100%
VERIFIED!!
Claim - ANSWER The "claims" must distinctly describe the subject matter which is
regarded as the invention
The claims define the scope of the protection of the patent. Whether a patent will be
granted is determined, in large measure, by the choice of wording of the claims.
The claims of a patent are somewhat like the legal description in a deed because they
describe the boundaries of the invention.
The claims section must begin with a statement such as "What I claim as my invention
is: . . ." or "I (We) claim: . . ." followed by the recitation of the particular matter which you
regard as your invention.
Composition of matter/product - ANSWER list the chemical ingredients (compounds,
elements or making up the composition or compound)
Copyright - ANSWER A form of protection provided to the authors of "original works of
authorship" including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual
works, both published and unpublished.
The 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to
reproduce the copyrighted work, to distribute copies or phonorecords of the
copyrighted work, to perform the copyrighted work publicly, or to display the
copyrighted work publicly. T
he copyright protects the form of expression rather than the subject matter of the
writing.
, Expiration of patent - ANSWER Current law measures the term of a patent 20 years
from the date that the patent application is filed.
Interference - ANSWER Ex: CRISPR issue
Occasionally two or more applications are filed by different inventors claiming
substantially the same patentable invention. The patent can only be granted to one of
them, and a proceeding known as an "interference" is instituted by the US Patent Office
to determine who is the first inventor and entitled to the patent.
Since the US is now a 'first to file" system, like the rest of the world, such "interferences
" are based on patent applications filed before the law changed from a "first to invent".
Each party to such a proceeding must submit evidence of facts proving when the
invention was made. In view of the necessity of proving the various facts and
circumstances concerning the making of the invention during an interference, inventors
must be able to produce evidence to do this.
Inventor's Notebook - ANSWER A record kept by an inventor that is witnessed by
others. Less useful now that the US is "first to file". The purpose of an inventor's
notebook is to help an inventor prove the date of invention.
Invention - ANSWER An invention is a new, non-obvious and useful machine, article of
manufacture, composition of matter, process, or any new use of the same that is
described and/or claimed in a patent or patent application.
License - ANSWER A license is simply a promise not to sue, i.e., " I know you are using
my patented chair to make your rocking chair. I won't sue you for using my chair without
permission but in exchange, I want some money..." In the context of intellectual property
law, licenses are usually mutally beneficial to both sides and granted in exchange for
royalty payments.
Obviousness - ANSWER A sometime subjective determination that the differences
between what you want patented and the "prior art" (see below) are such that what you
want patented "... would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a
