Wow.
Rossi had better hope he doesn't get the same examiner. (Particularly
failure to disclose "best mode" -- which doesn't even have to be
"active concealment").
All the prior art stuff is well done.
A couple of quibbles ... rather fatal to pre-Rossi CF.
Paper 9
Page 16 : absence of "whole body radiation" -- which doesn't seem to
happen in Pd-D
(At least Rossi needs shielding)
Page 19 : "identical testing apparatus" must give "exact result
data" per "settled case law'. -- still too much material-variation in CF.
(Surely SOME experimental error / equipment variation is allowed? )
Says there is no "reputable evidence of record" supporting CF ... but
leaves the door open with "evidence to indicate appellant has so
succeeded where others have failed".
In short, I think Rossi COULD pass the technical stuff IF he
discloses "best mode".
