USPTO Adopts Flexible Approach to Markush Group Language

The USPTO has designated this decision as 鈥渋nformative鈥� for its holding that 鈥渁 Markush grouping is proper if it recites members of a subgenus and the specification describes those recited members as performing similar functions in the context of the invention.鈥� This decision could be helpful to applicants pursuing claims where structurally diverse species can perform the same function.
