GSK goes after Dudas, new rules on continuing applications

PatentHawk has a copy of the GSK complaint against USPTO Director Dudas over the new rules which was filed on October 10, 2007 in ED Va. Kirkland & Ellis are of counsel in the matter.

Part A of the prayer for relief states: maintain the status quo and grant a preliminary and permanent injunction.

**UPDATE

Note the Oct. 15 post by Kirsty Barnes titled GSK's disdain is blatant over new rules for patent

IPBiz notes that under the new rules, an applicant may file TWO continuations AND ONE RCE without filing a petition.
