Markush claim

Read a random definition: national domicile

A quick definition of Markush claim:

A Markush claim is a type of statement in a patent that lists different options for chemicals, materials, or steps in a process. It usually includes language like "selected from the group consisting of." All the options must give the same result, not different products. The name comes from a legal case called Ex parte Markush.

A more thorough explanation:

A Markush claim is a type of patent claim that includes a list of alternative chemicals, materials, or steps in a process. The alternatives must all give the same result, rather than patentably distinct products. The name comes from Ex parte Markush, 1925 Dec. Comm'r Pat. 126.

  • A patent claim for a new type of paint that includes a list of alternative pigments, such as "selected from the group consisting of red, blue, and green."
  • A patent claim for a new type of drug that includes a list of alternative chemical compounds, such as "selected from the group consisting of compound A, compound B, and compound C."

These examples illustrate how a Markush claim allows for flexibility in the materials or chemicals used to achieve the same result. The claim covers all the alternatives listed, as long as they produce the same outcome.

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
