Patent Fraud

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Several recent judicial opinions suggest that patent law's inequitable conduct doctrine is broken. These opinions indicate that - despite its admirable objective of encouraging disclosure of important information to the Patent Office - the inequitable conduct defense is being over-used by alleged infringers in patent litigation to the detriment of the public. This over-use creates problems. First, it encourages over-disclosure of information to the Patent Office. In extreme cases, over-disclosure makes it difficult for patent examiners to identify information critical to deciding whether to issue patents, potentially resulting in the issuance of invalid patents. Second, over-use of the inequitable conduct defense unnecessarily increases costs associated with enforcement of patents. Costs to inventors, to the court system, and ultimately to the public itself all increase dramatically with each allegation of inequitable conduct. These problems with the inequitable conduct doctrine threaten the very purpose articulated in the patent clause in the Constitution - the promotion of the progress of science and useful arts. This article analyzes the inequitable conduct doctrine and proposes a reform that would alleviate its present problems. “Patent fraud” should replace the current doctrine of inequitable conduct.

Deceptive Conducts Before the Patent Office
Author: Eugenio Hoss
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783848761340
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
In an increasingly harmonized global patent landscape, few issues still distinguish the US patent system as much as its strictand often criticizedduty of candor and its inequitable conduct doctrine. The EPO and most other countries around the world impose less burdensome disclosure duties upon patent applicants. What is there to learn from the experience in the US? Have these tools resulted in any benefit worth considering? Yet regardless of the disclosure duties imposed upon patent applicants, a deceptive conduct before the Patent Office could lead to unwarranted exclusive rights and have a negative impact on competition. Should antitrust law intervene? Is it a case of sham litigation? This work attempts to answer those questions through a comparative analysis, examining the law and case law in the US and in the EU from both a patent and a competition law perspective and seeking a workable theory of harm.
