    EAPO – WIPO Patent Examiner Workshop September 16 – 18, 2019

    Workshop on Examination in the PCT National Phase (Work-Sharing)

    The exercises include case studies of selected PCT national phase entries which are listed in a separately
    distributed excel table ' Table of Sample Cases' (as soft copy). You are requested to research these cases based
    on the instructions given below and fill the columns E to P of the table (using an electronic copy of the table). At
    the end of the workshop you will be given a completed table with solutions.
    The top record of the table (1st case) gives an example of how the researched information should be recorded in
    the table.

    Part 4 (Topic 6: comparing main claims granted in different national phases)

    the following cases


    #53(composite barrier)
    #5(stable composition): there is one subtle difference
    #12(polyolefin)
    #13(form work element)
    #29(flavivirus)
    #30(submerged converter)
    #46(portion capsule) US and AU claims
    #41(surface reacted carbonate)
    #112(producing solid carbon (AU, CA, US)
    #113(polymeric delivery system) check FR, MA, EP, CA, AU, US
    #114(state fibre rope) EP, CN, JP, RU

    - Check if any granted main claim is equivalent or equal to the WO-A1/2 main claim, and record this
    in column Q;

    - Check if main claims granted in different jurisdictions are different from each other (substantially or
    not), in particular (column Q):
    - look for examples of grants with exactly the same wording of main claims,
    - look for examples of grants with substantially different wording of the main claims,
    - look for examples of grants of different category of subject matter (process, use, product),
    - look for examples of grants with a different sequence of features/elements in the main
    claim,
    - look for examples of grants of different type (one part – two part claims).

    (Please enter your answers in the table and also prepare a word document in which differences of
    two grants are highlighted in track changes mode.)

    - Would you grant a patent or not grant or wait for further results from national phases? Why?
    Which main claim would you prefer if you intend to grant? (column R)
