Prezados,

Permitam-me discordar. Os critérios de patenteabilidade são novidade, atividade inventiva e utilização industrial. Compete ao INPI demonstrar - exclusivamente - que a invenção não atende a um desses requisitos, sem discutir aspectos subjetivos.

Prova da aplicação correta desses critérios é a patente US 6,039,990 cuja reivindicação principal tem o seguinte texto:

1. A vacuum-packed fish product provided in a tomato base cooking sauce processed at high temperature and comprising, by weight percent: fish 43% to 53%; egg 11% to 13%; onion 8.5% to 10.5%; oil 5.5% to 6.5%; matzo meal 4.5% to 6.5%; sugar 7.0 to 8.0%; water 8.0% to 10.0%; salt 1.0% to 2.0%; potato starch 0.30% to 0.50%; and white pepper 0.10% to 0.15%.

A reivindicação de processo é ainda melhor:

13. A method of processing a fish product comprising by weight percent, 43% to 53% fish; 11% to 13% egg, 8.5% to 10.5% onion, 5.5% to 6.5% oil, 4.5% to 6.5% matzo meal, 7.0% to 8.0% sugar, 8.0% to 10.0% water, 1.0% to 2.0% salt, 0.30% to 0.50 potato starch and 0.10% to 0.15% white pepper, wherein said fish product is disposed in a tomato base sauce comprising by weight percent 80% to 90% water, 5% to 7% tomato paste, 5.0% to 7.0% sugar, 0.50% to 1.50% salt, 0.03% to 0.07% garlic powder and 0.006% to 0.018% white pepper, and wherein said method comprises heating said fish product in said tomato base sauce at a temperature above 200 degrees Fahrenheit for a period of about 30 to 45 minutes, placing said fish product and said tomato base sauce in a vacuum sealable container and vacuum sealing said fish product and said tomato base sauce in said vacuum sealable container.

Mais um exemplo, entre vários outros, é a patente US 5,960,411, cuja reivindicação é:

1. A method of placing an order for an item comprising: under control of a client system, displaying information identifying the item; and in response to only a single action being performed, sending a request to order the item along with an identifier of a purchaser of the item to a server system; under control of a single-action ordering component of the server system, receiving the request; retrieving additional information previously stored for the purchaser identified by the identifier in the received request; and generating an order to purchase the requested item for the purchaser identified by the identifier in the received request using the retrieved additional information; and fulfilling the generated order to complete purchase of the item whereby the item is ordered without using a shopping cart ordering model.

Como o lema do GRES Acadêmicos do Salgueiro, e ao contrário do que pensam muitos - para ser patenteável uma invenção não precisa ser nem melhor nem pior, apenas diferente.
