Whether sec. 101 mandates single patenting[edit]

It is not a disputed issue whether 35 USC sec. 101 requires that only one patent (a patent) be issued on one invention. Many US decisions say so. I invite you to cite US cases that hold otherwise. This is the standard basis for a double patenting rejection in US law. PraeceptorIP (talk) 18:50, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But it is a disputed interpretation under the EPC, so shouldn't be stated as fact. The issue is already discussed in the section on the US, I see. 78.86.195.14 (talk) 21:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
