Subject: question

what would it take to require the USPTO

to hold a patent interfence hearing before considering a patent and within

45 days of the submittal of the patent application, issue and publish a

list of all potentially existing prior art, notice all of its inventors

separately,.. publish it in the Fed Reg 30 prior to the meeting; and allow

any and all claims for the prior art to be added to the public hearings

comment as submitted.?

how would the appropriate language for such a requirement be best styled..

Computer Aided Cell and Molecular Biology (CACMB), not medicine, will find

the cure for cancer and other diseases. There will always be a need for

the trained clinician (MD/RN) but, advanced diagnostic and treatment option

selection has become gene based, has moved from the physician's practice to

the computerized cell and molecular biology laboratory, and appropriate

treatment options should now be based on the personal biology of the

patient.
