Health Discovery Corp (HDVY)

[LocWolf]

Well! looks like I was wrong about the USPTO being done with that INTEL patent. As seen below in todays 8-K filing by HDVY. I don't see that changing anything as to our future existence at this point but I was/am wrong in saying that the USPTO was done with HDC in that matter. "My sincere apology" for that comment!!



ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure



As previously disclosed, Health Discovery Corporation (the “Company”) submitted a patent application to provoke an interference with Intel’s Patent No. 7,685,077. The application file had been transferred to the U.S. Patent Office’s Interference Division.



On September 21, 2016, the Company received notification that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) declared an Interference between the Company’s pending patent application covering SVM-Recursive Feature Elimination (“SVM-RFE”) and Intel’s Patent No. 7,685,077, entitled “Recursive Feature Eliminating Method based on a Support Vector Machine”. An Interference is an administrative proceeding within the USPTO that is used to determine which party was the first to invent an invention that is claimed in two (or more) independently-owned patent applications. The Company has been designated the “Senior Party” in the Interference, meaning that it is entitled to a presumption of prior inventorship based on its earlier filing date. As the “Junior Party”, the burden falls upon Intel to prove that it conceived and reduced the claimed invention to practice prior to the Company’s earlier filing date.



In addition to the patent application involved in the Interference, the Company currently has three issued U.S. patents and five issued foreign patents covering the SVM-RFE method.
