A ‘Legal Issues Seminar-Patents’ (LIS-PAT) was conducted by Ashok Vardhan Adipudi, Trainee Associate, on “Whether a Species Claim is Disclosed in a Prior Genus Claim in a Markush Formula?”. The seminar delved into protection of the ambit of Markush claims and double patenting based on a prior Markush claim. The seminar specifically looked into the statutory provisions relating to unity of invention and patentability requirement while considering the boundaries of Markush claims. The session concluded with some interesting questions and discussion among the team, including the necessity of a species patent under a prior Markush claim.
