RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring To calculate the expiration of a patent, you need to know these dates. Then consult DOCS/TERMCALC.DOC on the 2012 course website (or read the statute).DOCS/TERMCALC.DOC The calculated date is not your final answer, however. You must also consider - nonpayment of maintenance fees - extensions due to delays by the government. But there’s good news! This is just FYI. The patents you use for simulations will be assumd to be in full force and effect at all relevant times… (Week 3)

RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring Reading a Patent – Who asked you to? AI –to design around it to avoid infringement –to challenge validity or enforceability PAppl – –to see if you need to disclose (and claim around) –to see if you should buy/license it M&A – to evaluate an asset PO – to evaluate whether you can sue within the bounds of Rule 11 Why? AVOID inequitable conduct COMPLY with Rule 56Rule 56 and your duty of candor Obtain a solid patent (Week 3) link is to MPEP - it's good for finding cases, statutes and rules (PTO rules not Rules of Civil Procedure). PTO rules are cited 37 CFR 1.[rule#] Rule 11, F.R. Civ.P., not 37 CFR 1.11

RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring Major Issues of Liability in Patent Law Validity Infringement Word police note: 'infringe,' in patent law, takes a direct object. Please say, "The accused device infringes the patent. " Please do NOT say, "It infringes ON the patent." The other part of a patent case, after liability is determined, is DAMAGES, or more generally REMEDIES (Week 3)

But first: some abbreviations used on the next slide. AI: Accused Infringer PO: Patent Owner BOP: burden of proof sometimes called 'burden of persuasion' QOP: quantum of proof sometimes called 'standard of proof' Judge Grewal mentions burden of production sometimes also called 'burden of going forward.' Understanding that means understanding 'prima facie case,' too. The Different Quanta of Proof Prep: Preponderance of the Evidence = 50%+Є C&C: Clear and Convincing Evidence = ~70%??

Without more, the court will not impose "integral" as a limitation. The claim term will be given its plain and ordinary meaning. See Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1323 (cautioning against reading limitations that may be present in the specification into the claim). {6. Why is it wrong to read a limitation from the specification into the claim? Who would urge doing so and why? When should it be permitted? AC

(Week 3) RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring SSI v TEK - Individual Questions - 4 "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." What "sealingly receives"? The "separate structure" or the "enclosure"? "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." remove the ambiguity by reversing the order

(Week 3) RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring SSI v TEK Individual Questions - 5 "an enclosure that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant." "an enclosure that sealingly receives air and/or tire sealant. that may be formed within and as an integral part of the housing or as a separate structure " Replace the second THAT with 'and' or 'which'? Replace 'that may be formed' with 'the enclosure being formed...'? Replace 'within and as' with 'as and within' so that both phrases lead with an AS. This helps the reader who is looking for parallelisms.

It gives you a good idea about how lawyers (and later, their experts) confront a new patent that their client - (PO) is asserting or is thinking about asserting by writing The Letter (PO) is considering offering a license, possibly after writing The Letter (AI) is accused of infringing or thinks the other side is thinking about it and/or is considering starting a DJ (like SSI did) (AI) is considering taking a license, either because it received The Letter or otherwise or AI has found the patent and is about to make a product that might infringe and wonders what to do

(Week 3) RJM - IP: Sci Ev in Pat Lit - Spring Markman Orders and other things that cause cases to settle {In the Northern District of California by Local Rule, and elsewhere either by Local Rule or judge's rule, the parties must, well before trial, identify all the disputed terms in the claims (or as many terms as the court is willing to consider, usually about ten as here) and propose constructions for them. The court then construes the terms, sometimes choosing one of the parties' constructions, sometimes crafting its own. These constructions then govern subsequent motions, such as motions for summary judgment, as well as the trial. Experts are often involved in assisting with claim construction and sometimes present a tutorial in court. Usually the hearing on claim construction consists of attorney argument but it can include live testimony from experts. The Construction Order, sometimes called a Markman Order after a famous case about claim construction (full cite in opinion above) often leads to early settlement. These orders, generally unappealable until there is a final judgment, can be overturned by the appellate court. When that happens, a new trial is usually ordered. More in class about factors leading to settlement, and the role of experts at early stages of the litigation. -RJM} page 2-3
