Virtual Patent Marking List

Notice to Users of this Webpage and List:

This Webpage and the List provided below are posted on the Internet to support the virtual patent marking requirements in the United States under 35 U.S.C. § 287(a). Other patent numbers may also be provided relating to other jurisdictions internationally.

The List associates patented articles, referred to on this Webpage as “products” with corresponding patent numbers or other information. The products are listed by product identification, which is generally marked on the product. In some circumstances, such product identification might be found marked on packaging and/or materials associated with the product. The product identification is associated on this List with at least one of the following indicators: “patent pending” for filed patent applications, one or more issued patent number(s) for issued patents, or “expired” for expired patents. This List is posted on the Internet at the web address or Link corresponding to the patent notice (Pat. www.iogen.com/ip) marked on or associated with (as necessary) the product to give constructive notice to the public of the patent(s) listed.

To find patents on the List, locate the product identification on the List. Look for the patent(s) associated with the product listed.

Some product identifications may not be listed. If a product identification is not specifically identified on this List, it might not be marked with the Link or may not have a patent associated with it. Check the product, its associated packaging, or a corresponding label for other patent marking such “patent pending” or one or more specific patent numbers instead of the Link. Listing patents here is not an admission that other relevant patents do not exist.

The patent process is dynamic and the contents of the Webpage and List and association between products and patents may change due to circumstances including, but not limited to patent application filing, patent application publication, patent issuance, licensing, product changes, patent expiration, abandonment of an application or patent, litigation, and other circumstances. The content of the List is updated from time to time but may not be up to date at the specific time you visit this Webpage. Please visit this Webpage to check for updates. Patent applications may be pending or published and patents may have issued in the United States and elsewhere, which are not identified on this List. Absence from this List does not prevent enforcement of any and all legal rights associate with a patent.

The List may not be all-inclusive and other products not listed here may be associated with one or more patents in the United States or elsewhere. If a product is not provided on the List it may affect this form of constructive notice to the public. However, the absence of a product and associated patent(s) from this List should not be construed to mean that there is no constructive notice, just merely not via this List. Further, the absence of any product and associated patent(s) from this List does not prevent nor limit enforcing all legal rights associated with the relevant patent(s).

Individual components that are part of a patented product comprising an assembly or system may be marked with the patent number relating to the assembly or system. This could occur due to some circumstance or characteristic of the assembly or system that makes marking the component appropriate. Similarly, an assembly or a final product may be marked even though only one or a collection of components of the final product are patented and the final product might not be patented. The purpose of posting on this List is to provide constructive notice about such an assembly, system, or component(s) of a final product and is not intended to claim rights to the individual component or final product as being patented, unless such component or final product is separately patented.

The Link, Webpage, and/or List could be unavailable from time to time without advance notice as part of maintenance and/or an unintended outage. Efforts will be made to maintain the Link, Webpage, and List substantially continuously active. There is no charge for accessing this Webpage and List posted at the Link.
