Friends,
Some months ago (November) I called to your attention a wildly mismatched
US Pregrant Publication, with a front page from Company A and body from
Company B. I have a new one, but this time the body parts are assembled
differently.
The publication is US2002/0037961-A1 of March 28, 2002. Its title and
specification belong together, and clearly come from some Japanese source,
one which I haven't attempted to identify. The rest of the front page
(including the abstract, inventorship, priority details) match the proposed
claims, and come from Dow Chemical.
Somebody's going to have to find a way to prevent this sort of thing from
happening. In the meantime, the November mismatch was still there on the
USPTO website last I checked (mid-March). Somebody's going to have to find
a way to correct such blunders should they happen. And withing a
reasonable frame of time.....not months and months and months after
notification of the error.
