Chiron Corp. v. Genentech, Inc.
Federal Circuit, March 30, 2002
“After a jury trial, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California entered judgment in favor of Genentech that all claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,054,561 are invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102 because none of the asserted claims is entitled to priority to a series of applications filed in 1984, 1985, and 1986…Because Chiron did not adequately disclose or support the subject matter of its ’561 patent in its 1984, 1985, or 1986 applications, this court
affirms the district court’s denial of a motion for judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) and motion for a new trial.”
