福里尔·拉德纳律师事务所律师杰克·卡罗尔、切坦·斯里尼瓦萨与凯文·马拉尼合著了《知识产权诉讼人》期刊文章《美国专利商标局与地区法院在爱丽丝专利适格性分析上的分歧》。
作者探讨了梅奥/爱丽丝专利适格性框架在美国专利商标局(USPTO)与地区法院中的不同应用,重点梳理了近期案例的关键要点,并讨论了USPTO更新的指导方针。
“面临§101条款驳回的专利申请人,或许应当考虑采用既参考《美国专利审查指南》及其他美国专利商标局指导意见,又兼顾地区法院处理类似问题的策略来确立专利适格性,”作者总结道。 "这可能意味着需要在USPTO的第二步A阶段(第二项分析)之外提供进一步分析。根据具体情况,此类策略可包括:建立记录以说明任何'附加要素'并非常规操作,并在同一专利或专利家族内提出不同范围的权利要求。此类记录在后续诉讼中可能具有重要价值。"
