definiens: means that the claim or technology in question is directed to methods, compositions, reagents or kits specifically for use in nucleic acid -based diagnostic assays for the detection of HIV nucleic acid sequence(s ), or specifically for use in the manufacture of any compositions or reagents fo r use in, or manufacture of nucleic acid -based diagnostic assays for detection of HIV nucleic acid sequence(s ) ( excluding, for example, PCR claims and technology and other methods for detection of nucleic acid sequence(s ) generally which involve nucleic ac i d amplification ) . The terminology as used in this Section 1.14, is intended to exclude inventions suitable for use with viruses or analytes other than HIV ( including by way of example and not by way of limitation, inventions relatin g to PCR, or assay formats, improved expression systems, detectable labels, instrumentation, packaging and the like ), which shall not be considered in HIV detection as contemplated by this Section 1.14 and shall therefore not be considered as hereunder
