one seven one zero mr nourse you have fifteen minutes thank you your honor it please the court i'm here to ask this court to reverse the decision of the board in interference can you tell us what's going on with the other side carnegie institute of washington what's the status of their claims carnegie instituted a an appeal in this court following the decision in the patent office and withdrew that appeal at their request ok so what does that mean what is your understanding of the status of all of their patent claims across that at the conclusion of the interference the board cancelled all of the involved claims all the claims which could have interfered with the claims that had presented those claims are now cancelled because permanently because carney has withdrawn its appeal and has no further basis for those claims to be reinstated but i think they're not here science are not satisfied with the decision of the patent office and under that statute have the right to appeal to ask you to overturn that  to not permit you to trigger an interference right now the decision was at the conclusion of the interference to persist in finally refusing claims fifty t for the interference proceeding to a priority phase and priority was determined but after purry phase was determined in the interference the board persisted in its decision that frames fifty two to sixty two and sixty nine and one of unpatentable under one thirty five the one that decision was based we submit on a misconstruction of the statute and furthermore as a second reason why i was incorrect the judgment at the conclusion of the interference did not take into account the fact that all the claims of the carnegie patent which could have provoked an interference which could have possibly constituted a discovered and the later claims because that's a traditional test yes you're right that is the traditional test but to need to consider that test you would first need some claim of an issued patent  which would bar c s i arose claims if the material difference test was not met but there are no claims of an issue patent to invoke section one thirty five b at this point  course of a very long the cation and the appeal in that litigation was in front of this court and the court held the general principle that a final judgment has to be rendered on the facts the law as it exists at the time of the final judgment will at the time of the final judgment for this interference the board had determined priority all of the claims which could support a damages under section two eighty one so there's no particular reason why they should be able to support a car under section one thirty five of the same statute so at the time of judgement the board should have said to itself these claims which at one time could have could have provoked are under one thirty five b and b would have had to undertake the materials difference that's no longer exist they are as if they never existed a theory essentially the same as the theory they put forward in their first decision to refuse c s r s case that there is some equitable component of a prosecution that requires an applicant to copy the claims within a fixed period and the c p a said no all those equitable doctrines which meant before the enactment of the statu authority this was elaborated again by the c c a in the corbett case where they went through a detailed analysis of the legislative history of section one thirty five th of two the application of which is mandatory the explicit language of section one thirty five the controls the c p a concluded that the quality of the patent these conduct here is of no moment determining the forward a theory which had been tried and rejected all the way back in one thousand just curious why is it that you can talk claim that the you introduced the claim within the one year window the claimed there was a written the scription right those claims were rejected under a written description requirement the patent office could have declared an interference right then based on those claims and i'm asking why did you cancel the claim that learning written the scription rejection the claims were presented a second time and rejected a second time and at that point it was past the one year period when you could introduce claims to substantially the same subject matter and so the decision was taken to attempt to get a patent on claims which would not be are under one thirty five those claims in turn were rejected at which point it was decided to make  everything in front of the board saying you cancelled the claim the first go around based on what you now believe to have been a misunderstanding of the state of the law now we we realigned at the time on rain if you think you can get  in the first instance i think i do not believe that that history actually matter but the i'm just curious well having been faced with the rejection twice the decision was taken to attempt to get a patent passed the examiner to convince the examiner of patentable subject matter before undertaking the substantial time and expense of an interest in seeing this case has been going on inference proceeding the claims will reintroduce and at that point the examiner allowed them to be sent up to the board or consider then came back and introduce claims that corresponded to the count and provoked the interference one condition require in section one thirty five the and that is that the applicant have filed such a claim before one year after the issu necessary either because if you review the current of the motion in this case and under the patent offices procedural rules turning in its motion had the burden to show that it was impossible to relief under section one three five be it didn't even compare c s i arose pending claims to c s i arose from passing claims except in decision the board did not find any with respect to the claims that had been that have and now refuse
