1 Intellectual property rights and operations research DrAshok K Mittal IIT Kanpur
2 What is Intellectual Property Ownership Nature of property Tangible Transferable Ownership Intellectual property Transferable Intangible
3 Who owns the rights Moral Rights : Inventor Creator Commercial Rights : Organisation Fund providor Government Individual Rights are Transferable for a consideration except Moral rights
4 Type of Intellectual Property Copyright Patents Trade Marks/ Service Marks Design Layout Design for Integrated circuits Protection of New Plant varieties Geographical Indications Trade Secrets
5 Copy Right Literary works Dramatic works Musical works Artistic works Cinematographic Sound recording Computer programmes
6 Nature of Right Transfer some or part of the rights Transfer to multiple parties Right not to transfer Registration not required Right only on the form and expression and not on contents Rights are protected in all the participating countries as per the law of that country
7 Nature of Rights Right to reproduce Right to issue copies Right to perform or communicate Right to make film.video etc Right to translate
8 When Rights accrue: As soon as the property is created Creativity in the work is must In case of dispute proof for the creation is required
9 What is not covered Idea or concept Fair use Trivial ( Not creative) material
10 Patents Inventions that are Novel Non-obvious Useful
11 Generally not Patentable Discoveries Mathematical Models Scientific Theories Schemes Rules Playing games Method of Business Programmes for computers Presentation of Information
12 USPTO Guidelines A useful process, machine, manufacture or composition of matter i.e. it must have a practical application
13 Novelty An invention is Novel if on the date of filing an application for a patent,its subject matter was Not Published in any Indian patent specification Published in any document anywhere in the world Publicaly known or used in India
14 Obvious Based on sum total of knowledge available on the relevant field whether the Invention in question will be Obvious to a person skilled in the art.
15 Rights Granted within the geographical territory of the country( ies) where filed Rights are for the period of Grant Rights can be revoked if it can be shown that grant was not correct Patents to be kept alive by paying fees
16 Operations Research Deals with solving problems for Industry and Society ( Useful) Deals with Problems where solutions are Not Obvious Uses Models Uses Mathematical Algorithms Uses Computer programme
17 What has changed: Computer programmes were not subject of patents Mathematical Formulae and Algorithms were not considered subject of patents Method of doing Business were not considered subject of Patents.
18 What has changed A More liberal views on Software/ Computer Programmes by USPTO Patenting of Business Methods by USPTO/ European PTO and some other countries Paper devices to show functionality
19 USPTO Guidelines A practical application of a computer related invention is a patentable subject matter In 1996, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office adopted its Final Computer Related Examination Guidelines. These guidelines are designed to assist patent examiners in handling hardware and software related inventions. Since hardware and software are almost always interchangeable, it is not surprising that these guidelines reflect both types of computer related inventions.
20 Software Patents Continue Those having "significant post solution activity", meaning that the software program is used to control something external to the software routine (such as curing rubber), and those having "pre-computer process activity", meaning software programs that manipulate numbers representing concrete, real world values (such as electrocardiograph signals and seismic measurements.
21 History In the 1980s, the Supreme Court forced the P.T.O. to change its position. The 1981 case of Diamond v. Diehr provided the first instance in which the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the P.T.O. to grant a patent on an invention even though computer software was utilized
22 History In the early 1990s, the Federal Circuit (the highest court for patent matters other than the Supreme Court) tried to clarify when a software related invention was patentable. The court stated that the invention as a whole should be examined. Is the invention in actuality only a mathematical algorithm, such as a computer program designed to convert binary-coded decimal numbers into binary numbers? If so, then the invention is unpatentable. However, if the invention utilizes the computer to manipulate numbers that represent concrete, real world values (such as a program that interprets electrocardiograph signals to predict arrhythmia or a program that analyzes seismic measurements), then the invention is a process relating to those real world concepts and is patentable.
23 Business Methods The patentability of business methods at the European Patent Office In this document Introduction The exclusion of Article 52(2) and (3) EPC Assessing novelty Determining inventive step Industrial application See also Examples of granted European business method patents There is, at present, no clear definition of what constitutes a "business method" or what makes it different from other types of methods. The traditional view in Europe is that patents protect technical inventions, and "business", being non-technical, therefore should be excluded from patentability. However, with the rise of e-commerce, it has become more difficult to define the boundary between "technical" and "non-technical". This in turn has led to an increase in the number of software patents and business method patents in Europe.
24 The 1998 decision by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in State Street Bank & Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group, Inc., 149 F.3d 1368 (1998) altered this situation dramatically. That decision upheld a patent on a software program that was used to make mutual fund asset allocation calculations. In the wake of that decision, companies have been seeking -- and obtaining -- business method patents at a furious pace.
25 htm.xml Title routing of network traffic htm.xml Title methods and apparatus for efficient resource allocation Abstract a method and apparatus for optimizing resource allocations is disclosed which utilizes the karmarkar algorithm to proceed in the interior of the solution space polytope htm.xml Title non-linear genetic algorithms for solving problems
26 htm.xml Title technique for drawing directed graphs htm.xml Title work scheduling method htm.xml Title card game based on decision theory htm.xml Title non-linear genetic algorithms for solving problems by finding a fit composition of functions
27 Business Methods The European Patent Office (EPO) reported in late 2000 that it has about 2,000 pending "business method" applications, which is about twice as much as two years ago. In contrast, the United States Patents and Trademark Office (USPTO) had over 8,000 pending business method applications in 2000 alone.
28 Business Method Patents Patents on Graphical User Interface Software Patents on Hyperlinking Patents on Business-to-Business Software Patents on Graphical Software Patents on Audio Software and File Formats Patents on Internet Search Engines Patents on Web Standards Internet Purchasing Patents Advertising and Marketing Patents Auctions on the Internet Methods of funding college tuition Miscellaneous Finance Patents Training and Instruction Accounting and Management System
29 System for determining the queue sequence for serving customers at a plurality of service points A system that determines which customers are to be served at which counter. The system takes user preferences for particular counters into account. Solves the problem of how to provide an apparatus that can pool counters so that one common customer queue can be employed. See T 1002/92 (Petterson) for the Board of Appeals decision resulting in the grant. EP , filed , granted
30 A method of holding an auction and uses of the method Blind auction: each participant enters a list with bids for a number of products, which a central computer compares to find the highest bid. Overcomes the drawback of known auctions, in which participants must be physically present, and in which only one item can be auctioned at a time.
