The Patent Box: Alternatives to PatentsJane Lambert
This was the last presentation in the workshop on the patents box. Although the patent box is a powerful incentive to apply for a patent there are other forms of IP. This closing presentation indicates how some of the alternatives may be more appropriate for many businesses. It finishes with some tips on formulating an IP strategy.
Patents play different strategic roles in different industries. Because patent law is independent of industry structure, capital needs, R&D patterns, or the relationship between innovation and commercialization, however, elements that are critical to some industries threaten others. Yet every patent, regardless of quality, is a presumably valid federal license authorizing its bearer to restrict, reduce, restrain and contest all products in its sphere of exclusivity.
Armed with patents, big companies can police their competitors; small companies can secure hefty license fees or investment stakes; and non-practicing entities (NPEs) can file strategic lawsuits. Inattention to this terrain courts disaster. Any company possessing patentable technology must recognize that someone else may patent it first. Any company possessing patents must learn how to extract maximum profitability from intangible assets. And every company must appreciate that success invites litigation and explore preventative and defensive steps.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the role that patents play in the economy
- Highlight key aspects of the legal terrain
- Revisit the roots of the modern era of patenting
- Recognize how to counsel companies in light of the current patent terrain
- Identify different types of patentees and the strategies they favor
- Recognize key strategic and valuation questions
- Appreciate the importance of a Strategic Patent Counsel

This is the most common type of search invalidity contentions to determine if there is any area which has been overlooked by competitors or to determine how active the competitors are in this particular area means if a lot of patenting activities are going on in any particular area. If there is any scope to license or get license any particular technology.
This workshop, led by intellectual property expert Michael Kasdan of Wiggin and Dana, will help you evaluate whether you should be taking steps to protect your startup's intellectual property. It covers the different methods for protecting your IP (patents, copyrights, etc.) and provides some specific guidance on how to go about putting IP protections in place.
This presentation examined the role of Material Transfer Agreements in bioprospecting relationships. Also covered were issues on benefits sharing under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the implementation of the CBD.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. HKUST Business School
Innovation Protection via Patents
Copyright laws protect expression, and innovation
in software (now) and works related to “creativity”
Trademark Laws protect Brands and Identity
Trade Secrets can be used to protect innovations
But, you MUST keep the secret a secret
Patents protect PRODUCT AND PROCESS
innovations
BOTH products (function) and processes are protected
HOWEVER you can NOT keep the innovation a secret
BECAUSE patents are published for everyone to see
AND expression (design) is NOT PROTECTED, only
function
3. HKUST Business School
Patent Law Protections
Protects FUNCTION, not expression
Amazon patented its one-click function, as
copyright would not have protected this function
Replicating code for one-click function easy to do
Lengthy application and approval process
Significant legal costs may be required
Patents may be required in multiple jurisdictions
Patent limited to exact terms of application
Be careful to limit patent claims narrowly
4. HKUST Business School

An Idea Can Not Be Patented
… “while a scientific truth, or the
mathematical expression of it, is not a
patentable invention, a novel and useful
structure created with the aid of knowledge of
scientific truth may be.” (Mackay)
“an idea of itself is not patentable”
A principle … ; an original cause; a motive;
these cannot be patented” (Le Roy)
A new discovery of fact is not patentable.
5. HKUST Business School
5
Fine Line Divides Idea and Invention
The US Supreme Court declared: “While a
scientific truth, or the mathematical
expression of it, is not a patentable invention,
a novel and useful structure created with the
aid of knowledge of scientific truth may be”
MacKay Radio & Telegraph Co. v Radio Corp. of America
(1939)
6. HKUST Business School

Patents are Strongest Protection
Establishes right to prevent ALL OTHERS
from making or using the patented product or
process, without any need for establishing
that original work has been copied
Copyright law allows for simultaneous creation
Patent law is exclusive monopoly over all rights
Limited duration (currently 17 years from date
of issue or 20 years from application date in
USA; similar length in other counties)
7. HKUST Business School
7
Patent Creates Limited Monopoly
Why do governments do this?
What is the cost of this monopoly right to society?
What is the benefit of this monopoly right?
Is the benefit worth the cost? Some say no.
USA patent law not same as many other
countries law, but hard to ignore US market
USA does not require commercial usage, many
countries in Europe and with laws based on
European legal models do require applied usage.
8. HKUST Business School
8
Patent Application Requires Full
Disclosure of Invention
Must be sufficiently detailed to ENABLE
anyone to copy the invention after the end of
the patent monopoly protection period ends
Must use commonly understood engineering or
technical terms known to relevant specialists
Legal terms say “to enable any person”, but this is
assumed to refer to anyone with basic relevant
knowledge related to the field to which it applies
Must show “best mode” of making product.
9. HKUST Business School

Requirements to Obtain a Patent
Novelty
– restricts patents if innovation has been
previously anticipated, or if publicly disclosed and
patent not applied for in time
Twelve months prior to time of application in USA
Race to patent by “simultaneous” inventors
Utility
– requires that innovation be a “useful art” and
more than just novelty or curiosity
Inventor must identify a specific and real utility
Non-obviousness
– the most difficult criteria
10. HKUST Business School
10
Requires more than Invention
Patent must focus on and describe some benefit to
society, and not just invention
Helps prevent basic scientific ideas from being
patented, keeps science research free
Chemical intermediate not allowed to be patented as
no clear application or usage for this new chemical,
although it was very useful to chemists in studying
other reactions
Utility needs to have some public or social benefit
“A patent is not a hunting license” for some utility
11. HKUST Business School
11
Processes May Be Patented
“That a process may be patentable,
irrespective of the particular form of the
instrumentalities used, can not be disputed
…, it may not be at all material what
instrument or machinery is used” (Cochrane)
Benson case resulted in rejection by US
Supreme Court of patents for algorithms
Limitations on process patents in Morse
Claim was too sweeping; discouraged innovation
12. HKUST Business School
12
Defining Process: Official Views
“A process is a mode of treatment of certain
materials to produce a given result. It is an
act, or a series of acts, performed on the
subject matter to be transformed and reduced
to a different state of thing”
“The term process means process, art, or
method, and includes a new use of a known
process, machine, manufacture, composition
of matter, or material”
13. HKUST Business School
13
Challenges in Defining Process
Basic definition works well when
transformation are easy to observe, but what
about transformations of electronic bits?
Can biological processes be patented? If so,
what types of processes are patentable and
which are excluded from being patented?
This is an evolving area of patent law, with some
of the rules still being developed.
Case law and statutory law both developing
