WINNING PRIOR ART FOUND FOR 2 SEPARATE PATHS THAT CAN SHOW THE XELODA PATENT TO BE INVALID!
Article One congratulates our latest winners! Advisors Anonymous and Magnum submitted prior art that can show that the U.S. patent for XELODA is invalid as verified by an independent law firm. The winning references disclose the substitution used to construct the N(4)-Pentyloxycarbonyl-5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine  molecule as well as support for why the substitution would be made. Anonymous and Magnum will share the $25,000 Reward for this Study, demonstrating why they belong in the ranks of our Genius Advisors.

Hoffman LaRoche has sued 2 companies for patent infringement to prevent them from selling a generic version of N(4)-Pentyloxycarbonyl-5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (Xeloda®).  The Article One community uncovered references for 2 separate paths that teach the claim elements, why the lead molecule would be selected, what results could be expected from substitutions to the lead molecule, and why a person of ordinary skill in the art at that time would have been motivated to make that change. The proprietary collection is available for license.  View Details

WINNING STUDY, TWO SEPARATE 102 PRIOR ART REFERENCES IDENTIFIED FOR DEFENSE AGAINST JSA TECHNOLOGY'S PATENT INFRINGEMENT LITIGATION!

Article One is delighted to announce our community's newest set of winning Advisors -- Ramesh and Patented - for their success in identifying two independent paths to invalidity under the strongest level of invalidity evidence under "102 anticipation."  Article One already has begun to license the proprietary collection, with law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP first to license. The JSA Study uncovered new dramatic invalidating prior art that extensive traditional prior art searches didn’t produce.  With so many Article One Advisors using different approaches, a wide variety of highest quality references were found, including two separate 102 invalidity references -- a U.S. patent, and obscure publications about a product offered in 1997.  The proprietary collection is available for license to the community.  View Details

WINNING STUDY, PRIOR ART IDENTIFIED FOR GARMIN'S DEFENSE AGAINST SP TECHNOLOGY'S PATENT INFRINGEMENT LITIGATION!

Article One is delighted to announce our community's first winning Advisors - RickyJames and Patented - for their success in identifying winning prior art for this Study.  RickyJames was first to submit his winning prior art and so earns $35,000.00.  Patented was second to submit the winning prior art, earning $15,000.00.  RickyJames and Patented also join the ranks of Genius Advisors and are each awarded 500 profit sharing Points.


The determination of winners was based on Article One’s analysis, including review and analysis of outside counsel, leading Article One to reach the opinion that the prior art is invalidating because it teaches what is claimed in the subject patent
U.S. Patent No. 6,784,873 B1.  Article One believes that the claimed inventions would have been obvious to persons of ordinary skill in the relevant art at the time of the inventions.
