Genentech Provides Information on Patent Reexamination
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., September 28, 2005 Genentech, Inc.
today provided information on the pending reexamination of the
Cabilly, et al. U.S. Patent No. 6,331,415 ('415 patent), which was
ordered by the U.S. Patent Office on July 7, 2005. Genentech had
previously disclosed the existence of the reexamination in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2005,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2005.
On September 13, 2005, the U.S. Patent Office issued an initial
Office action rejecting the claims of the '415 or Cabilly patent.
This action is a routine and expected next step in the reexamination
procedure. Genentech plans to respond within 60 days from the
mailing date of the action.
The Office action originates from a request for reexamination of
the '415 or Cabilly patent filed on May 13, 2005 by a third party.
A final resolution of the reexamination may take from several months
to several years. The Cabilly patent remains valid and enforceable
while the reexamination is pending.
