Safepac Case Study

We cannot obtain a “Yes” or “No” answer on “Will the Supreme Court’s decision affect the amount of research that is conducted to find naturally occurring disease-causing DNA sequences”. It is because the statue is clearly stated that things that are created or invented can be applied to obtain a patent when those things are (1) novel, (2) useful, and (3) nonobvious (Cheeseman, 2015, P.135). Although discovering the disease-causing DNA sequences cannot be patented, the medicine or drug formulation on curing based on the related research can apply for a patent because it is an “invention”.

They have also attacked patent listings in the Food and Drug Administration “Orange Book” and have alleged monopolization through fraud on the Patent and Trademark Office and sham litigation. Yet other cases have condemned distribution agreements as unlawful exclusive dealing. These government actions have led to substantial private class action litigation against the pharmaceutical industry. The FTC has also challenged numerous mergers and acquisitions in the industry over the last decade. One common feature in all of these cases is the need to define a relevant market. In nonmerger cases, the FTC and private plaintiffsgenerally allege narrow markets, limited to a single drug and its generic equivalent in some cases and to generic drugs excluding the bioequivalent “brand-name” drug in other cases. In its merger challenges, on the other hand, the FTC has alleged markets ranging from those based upon a particular chemical compound, to broader markets based upon various drugs’ manner of interaction or dosage form, to still broader markets of all drugs used to treat a disease or condition. In numerous pharmaceutical merger challenges, the government has included in the market not only currently marketed drugs but also other drugs under development, alleging “innovation markets.”

While a trademark cannot be infringed upon at any time, if a trade secret is obtained through legal means it is no longer protected from use. With a patent, third parties are prevented from making, using or selling the invention thus protecting the funds used in the research and development (R & D)effort. This initial investment can be recovered and if the product is desirable, business success is realized for the property owner.

However, the statutory language limits this power by holding off this termination until 60 days after the Secretary publishes a notice in the Federal Registrar of the termination or the end of the most previous extension of TPS designation, whichever one is later, “but shall not be effective earlier than 60 days after the date the notice is published or, if later, the expiration of the most recent previous extension.” It should also be noted that the TPS statute also limits Congressional power to change TPS designation or the statute. Under the statute, the Senate cannot consider “any bill, resolution, or amendment that -- (A) provides for adjustment to lawful temporary or permanent resident alien status for any alien receiving temporary protected status under this section, or (B) has the effect of amending this subsection or limiting the application of this

This is an invite for BizPAC. A Political Action Committee by the Folsom Chamber of Commerce. BizPAC "claims" to represent the voice of Folsom business helping to elect candidates who “share the mission of protecting Folsom’s economy.” TRUTH is they raise thousands of dollars via OUTSIDE Folsom influences, mostly developers, using it to financially crush any challengers who run for city council in favor of the SAME INCUMBENTS, voting for the developer’s current and future projects. In 2014, while claiming to be the voice of small business, BizPAC raised and spent over $15,000 of developer-raised funds for EACH Steve Miklos, Andy Morin and Kerri Howell’s re-election campaigns. The

Thus, the Federal Circuit will uphold the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board’s factual findings, unless they are unsupported by substantial evidence. Questions of fact include whether a trademark is descriptive ; whether a trademark is generic ; whether a trademark has been abandoned ; and whether a trademark has acquired inherent distinctiveness . To the contrary, legal conclusions by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board are reviewed by de novo. The overall legal conclusion of a likelihood of confusion is a legal determination that is reviewed de novo. This legal determination is based on underlying factual findings of the Board’s application of some or all of the thirteen factors set forth in In re E.I. DuPont DeNemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357 (CCPA 1973). These factual findings will be evaluated under a substantial evidence standard of review. Thus, the Federal Circuit will uphold the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board’s factual findings, unless they are unsupported by substantial evidence. Although the DuPont factors are reviewed for substantial evidence, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board’s overall determination of likelihood of confusion is reviewed without

I selected the oral argument in the United States Supreme Court case Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., No. 13-854 (argued, October 2014). This argument was presented on October 15, 2014. First I will provide a summary of the prosecution history behind this case. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA created a multiple sclerosis drug called Copaxone and subsequently obtained a patent for the drug. Sandoz Inc. desired to create a generic version of Copaxone and submitted their request to the Food and Drug Administration. In 2012, Teva sued Sandoz in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on the grounds of patent infringement. The District Court then considered the patent through claims construction by examining the patent’s plain language and its prosecution history. Then, the court examined expert testimony and the public record to the patent in order to see if the terms were definite. The

Congress likely has the authority to cut federal funding for public TPFs that fail to comply with the BDA. The Spending Clause allows Congress to grant funds to States to incentivize certain actions, but Congress must treat this as a voluntary contract. U.S. Const. Art. 1, § 8. National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, 567 U.S. 519 (2012).

I would like to take a moment to update you on two changes that were approved by the Massachusetts RPAC Board of Trustees at their meeting last week:

DuPont commercialized the polymer under the trade name "Sorona". PTT poly Canada markets PTT under the trade mark Corterra Polymers. Mohawks sells the carpets made from PTT under the trade mark "Smart strand". In September 2006, Mohawk industries, PTT Poly Canada and DuPont together filed a petition for establishment of a new generic subclass within the existing polyester category for the fibers made from PTT. In 2009, U. S. Federal Trade commission(FTC) approved this petition and classified PTT under the generic name "triexta".

This case dealt with an invention relating to a windsurfing board. A patent had been granted to the plaintiff for the invention of windsurfing board. The plaintiffs challenged the defendants for infringing the patent. The defendants on the other hand counterclaimed for revocation of the patent on the grounds that the claimed invention was obvious and lacked novelty. The Court held that the patent was invalid based on prior use and prior publication. The Court found that the invention in question was an obvious improvement and that a person skilled in the art could anticipate the design of the surfing board. The Court laid down the following tests to be followed while assessing inventive

Cipla should look to protect their patents on particular medications and explains why rules governing intellectual property rights in industrialized nations should not apply to poorer countries.

The report is to identify two operational issues of Samsung and Finsbury Green and provide the recommendations through deeply discussing those issues. It argues that the product quality and operational strategy are critical to improve the marker share and long term development of the organizations. Through identifying these issues in Samsung’s product quality and Finsbury Green’s operational strategy, it can find that these issues have brought bad impacts on the business operation of the company in long term. The products quality is identified to be basic to all other aspects of the business operation in the organization. The customers can have the bad impression on the organization brand and reputation due to the bad product quality. And the operational strategy also has bad influences on the increase of market share when it is conducted without changing with the environment and customers’ needs. Based on the related articles, Samsung is recommended that it needs to improve the product quality though improving the technology and increasing the quality tests in different situations. And Finsbury Green is also suggested that it needs to promote the online services to attract more customers.
