What does “US7803839B2 example 22” refer to on Google Patents?
“US7803839B2” is a specific US granted patent (the “B2” indicates the granted version). “Example 22” is one of the patent’s numbered examples—typically describing an experimental procedure, formulation, compound preparation, or test result tied to the claimed invention.
Google Patents lets you open the patent record and jump to the “Examples” section to see what Example 22 says verbatim.
How do you find “Example 22” quickly on Google Patents?
On Google Patents for US7803839B2:
1. Open the record for US7803839B2.
2. Use the page’s built-in “Find” (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) and search for “Example 22”.
3. If the page has a “Description” section, scroll until you reach the “Examples” subsection and locate “Example 22”.
How is cobimetinib connected to this patent number?
To confirm whether US7803839B2 actually mentions cobimetinib (and whether “Example 22” specifically relates to it), you need to check the text in the Google Patents record. This is important because:
- A patent can relate to a chemical “class” or synthesis method where cobimetinib is one embodiment, or
- cobimetinib may appear only in background/related compounds, or
- the patent may be about a different compound family and only share overlapping terminology.
If you paste the text around “Example 22” from the Google Patents page (or share the Google Patents URL), I can tell you directly whether it describes cobimetinib, a cobimetinib intermediate, or an unrelated compound and summarize what Example 22 does.
What do “Example” sections usually contain in drug-chemistry patents?
In patents covering drug-like small molecules, “Example 22” commonly includes details such as:
- reaction scheme steps (reagents, solvents, temperatures),
- how an intermediate is made or purified,
- final compound isolation and characterization,
- assay conditions and measured biological activity (if included in the example).
So the quickest way to know what Example 22 is doing is to read its first paragraph and the claims it supports.
If your goal is freedom-to-operate or litigation relevance, what matters next?
If you’re trying to map this example to cobimetinib specifically, the next items to check on the Google Patents page are usually:
- The claim set (which one the example supports).
- The scope: whether cobimetinib is explicitly claimed or whether the claim covers a broader chemical genus.
- Patent status and legal events (assignments, continuations, reexaminations, or litigation), which can affect how “Example 22” translates into enforceable coverage.
What I need from you to answer precisely
I can’t reliably determine from your message alone what’s inside “Example 22” of US7803839B2 or whether it is about cobimetinib. If you provide either:
- the Google Patents link to US7803839B2, or
- a copy/paste of the “Example 22” text,
I’ll identify whether it is cobimetinib and summarize what the example describes, plus how it likely ties to the patent claims.
