However, compound patent, as the foundation of patent protection, its effectiveness is frequently challenged in real practice. Therefore it’s important to understand the creativeness of compound creativity, including Markush Claim and compound right claims, rules on judging the creativity of drug compound inventions are being formed in patent invalidity and administrative lawsuits. The group discussion will include aspects of drug compound patents and related cases, i.e. the three-step approach, considerations on unexpected technical effect, recognitions on technical effect and technical problems, whether the change of the ring structure and fixed part of Markush Structure are obvious for existing technologies, whether the scope of definitions on the variations of Markush Structure is obvious for future technologies, how supplemented experiment data are recognized in different auditing phases, etc.
