: (the subparagraph (B) provision), requiring that the subject matter

這裡討論的是35 U.S.C 102 (b) (1)(B)/(2)(B)

但是你忽略了(A)???

當我們這一串討論串再討論優惠期對於進步性的適用時，我覺得應該一併考慮(A)

102 (b)(1)(A)整個讀起來是

A disclosure made 1 year or less before the effective filing date of a claimed
invention shall not be prior art to the claimed invention under subsection
(a)(1) if the disclosure was made by the inventor or joint inventor or by
another who obtained the subject matter disclosed directly or indirectly from
the inventor or a joint inventor

在所請求發明的有效申請日以前的一年以內的揭露(對應於(a)(1)定義者)不應該做為先前
技術，如果所述揭露係由發明人、共同發明人或由前述兩者處直接或間接得知所請發明主
體的第三人所做的

發明人在年初的ISSCC研討會中揭露甲一

並且在年中申請相關的專利，獨立項請求甲(甲一與甲二的上位概念)，附屬項請求了
甲一與甲二

則在年初的研討會揭露"依據102(b)(1)(A)"會被排除做為"先前技術的適格性"

當然如果有人在研討會後馬上去請了一個甲二的專利、或是去揭露一個甲二的變形


如果依據102(b)(1)(B)/(2)(B)
則"除非甲二這個概念是發明人提出來的，並且發明人同時提出甲是上位概念"，否則甲二
這個概念對於發明人想請的甲(獨立項)就是先前技術，並且因為甲二也會一併使甲一GG

: Response:
: As discussed previously, the starting point for construction of a statute is
: the language of the statute itself.
: Subparagraph (B) of each of AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) and 102(b)(2) provides
: that certain disclosures shall not be prior art if ''the subject matter
: disclosed had, before such disclosure [or before such subject matter was
: effectively filed under 102(a)(2)], been publicly disclosed by the inventor
: or a joint inventor or another who obtained the subject matter disclosed
: directly or indirectly from the inventor or a joint inventor.''
: ...(略)
: The single instance of the phrase ''the subject matter'' in subparagraph (B)
: of each of AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) and 102(b)(2) cannot reasonably be read as
: concurrently describing two discrete subject matters. Therefore, the single
: instance of the phrase ''the subject matter'' in subparagraph (B) of each of
: AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1) and 102(b)(2) cannot reasonably be interpreted as
: including variations within its ambit.
: AIA 35 U.S.C. 100 defines inventor and joint inventor or coinventor with
: respect to the individual or individuals ''who invented or discovered the
: subject matter of the invention, '' and defines "claimed invention'' as ''the
: subject matter defined by a claim in a patent or an application for a patent.''
: USPTO 這部分的guildline已經出了,很詳細,應該很好找。
