analogous use

Read a random definition: judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV)

A quick definition of analogous use:

Analogous use refers to using a process or a trademark in a similar way to how it has been used before, but in a different field or for a different product. In patents, this is only considered patentable if it produces a new and useful result. In trademarks, it involves using a mark in marketing and advertising before the actual sale of the product or service, in order to establish the mark's use in commerce. The marketing campaign must be substantial and the product or service must be available soon after the campaign for the owner to take advantage of the analogous-use doctrine.

A more thorough explanation:

Analogous use refers to the application of a process or a trademark in one field to produce a similar result in another field. However, for it to be patentable, the fields should not be unrelated, and the outcome should be novel, useful, and non-obvious.

If a chemical process used in the pharmaceutical industry is applied to the food industry to produce a similar result, it is an example of analogous use. However, if the outcome is not novel, useful, or non-obvious, it cannot be patented.

If a company uses a trademark in marketing and advertising a product or service before the actual sale of the product or service, it is an example of analogous use. However, for the owner to take advantage of the analogous-use doctrine, the marketing campaign must be substantial, and the product or service must be available soon after the campaign. For instance, if a company advertises a new product and then delays its release for a year, it cannot claim analogous use.

These examples illustrate how analogous use can be applied in different fields and how it is subject to certain conditions to be considered valid.
