Practice question
A patentee argues that IPO grant conclusively proves validity forever and that a petition cannot challenge a patent contrary to public order or morality. An interested petitioner identifies that statutory ground and supports it through the required process. Which is best?
- Grant eliminates every statutory cancellation ground
- Section 61 expressly provides the public-order-or-morality ground; grant does not abolish cancellation
- A petitioner can cancel any patent simply by disliking it
- Every complaint automatically terminates patent rights on filing
- Only the patentee can interpret the Code
