Mactavish J held on the facts that it was obvious to do so for improved bioavailability, and the discussion in this post accepts that finding and is premised on it.Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573687140337856397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454051731189268002.post-21100177744832613282016-07-10T09:16:39.421-03:002016-07-10T09:16:39.421-03:00I think this issue is fact sensitive, and I must a...I think this issue is fact sensitive, and I must admit I don't know the facts. However, if say the Patentee tried ten salts and only the bisulphate salt was orally bioavailable, then I would be sympathetic to an argument that it was not "self-evident" in advance that the bisulphate salt would solve the problem. The "golden bonus" argument would only come into play if it were obvious to make the bisulphate salt for some other reason.Peter Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352686204387152116noreply@blogger.com
