1628 Ex Parte Schulze et al 14113017 - (D) CHANG OTDP MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP BARSKY, JARED
There are two steps in an obviousness-type double patenting analysis: First, we construe the claims of the earlier patent and the claims on appeal and determine the differences between the two. Second, we determine whether the differences render the claims "patentably distinct." UCB, Inc. v. Accord Healthcare, Inc., 890 F.3d 1313, 1323 (Fed. Cir. 2018). "The second part of this analysis is analogous to the obviousness inquiry under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in the sense that if an earlier claim renders obvious or anticipates a later claim, the later claim is not patentably distinct and is thus invalid for obviousness-type double patenting." Id. However, unlike with statutory obviousness, the double patenting inquiry in chemical cases is not "whether a person of ordinary skill in the art would select the earlier compound as a lead compound, but rather whether the later compound would have been an obvious or anticipated modification of the earlier compound." Id.
...
Nevertheless, "obviousness is not demonstrated merely by showing that an earlier expiring patent dominates a later expiring patent," and "[i]t is well-settled that a narrow species can be non-obvious and patent-eligible despite a patent on its genus." Abbvie Inc. v. Mathilda and Terence Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology Trust, 764 F.3d 1366, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2014); cf UCB, 890 F.3d at 1327 (disagreeing with the proposition that "presumption of an enabled genus of compounds precludes the district court from finding that there was no reasonable expectation of success of creating a species falling within that genus" and explaining that "such a result would have a chilling effect on genus claiming in the chemical arts as there would be double patenting in all chemical compound cases where a parent patent claims a genus").
