1. To establish prior public use, it must be proven that all features of the invention were publicly disclosed and accessible to third parties before the priority date, with no confidentiality agreement in place. The party referring to the prior public use is responsible for providing the necessary evidence. 2. As the circumstances surrounding an alleged public prior use usually lie entirely within the control of the party invoking it, strict requirements must be imposed on the evidence provided. This must include full documentation of what was made available, to whom, when, and under what circumstances. In particular, it is es- sential to ensure that the sample material examined can be attributed with suffi- cient certainty to the product actually supplied (proof of identity). 3. The disclosure of a broader range of numbers does not, as a matter of course, pre- empt a narrower, claimed range falling within it to the detriment of novelty. This is particularly true where several parameters must be met cumulatively and the prior art does not consider some of the claimed ranges.
