《新专利法祥解》(全)09年改法前解读

第一章总则 引言 1984年制定的专利法共分八章69条。分别为总则,授予专利权的条件,专利的申请,专利申请的审查和批准,专利权的期限、终止和无效,专利实施的强制许可,专利权的保护和附则。 专利法的第一次修改对19条条文进行了修改,专利法的第二次修改对36条条文进行了修改,但是两次修改对专利法的篇章结构和主要条款序号均未作变动。 总则,顾名思义是一部法律中提纲挈领的部分。我国专利法的总则部分在整个专利法中更占有突出的地位。首先,总则部分包括21条,约占整个专利法所有条款数的三分之一;其次,总则部分涵盖了立法宗旨、主管专利工作的部门、专利申请的客体、申请专利的主体、职务发明与非职务发明的界定、专利权人享有的权利、发明人和设计人的权利、专利代理和专利工作人员的保密责任等重要内容。在专利法的第二次修改中,总则部分的条款数目虽未增加,但内容上有许多重要的修改和补充。主要包括: (1)明确专利法的立法宗旨包括促进科技进步与创新; (2)肯定了两条途径、并行运作的保护制度,明确了省、自治区、直辖市人民政府应设立管理专利工作的部门,以负责本行政区域内的专利管理工作; (3)取消了全民所有制单位对专利权持有的规定,为我国的国有企业创造更好的市场竞争条件; (4)放宽了对职务发明的界定,向发明人倾斜,以更好地鼓励发明创造; (5)与TRIPS协议接轨,强化专利权人的权利,规定专利权人的权利包括禁止许诺销售行为; (6)对中国作为《专利合作条约》(下称PCT条约)成员应当履行的义务和享受的权益做了原则规定;

(7)为保护发明人合法权益,明确了专利代理的职业道德; (8)对国家知识产权局及其专利复审委员会的工作提出了更高的要求,即应当客观、公正、准确、及时地处理有关专利的申请和请求。 第一条 为了保护发明创造专利权,鼓励发明创造,有利于发明创造的推广应用,促进科学技术的进步和创新,适应社会主义现代化建设的需要,特制定本法。 本条规定专利法的立法宗旨。我国专利立法以实现以下五个目标为宗旨: 一、保护发明创造专利权 “保护发明创造专利权”是专利法的核心。专利法第一条开宗明义点明了我国用单一的授予专利权的形式保护发明创造。 什么是专利?人们曾经试图用各种方式准确予以定义,其中为人们较为普遍接受的一种说法是:“专利是由政府机关或者代表若干国家的地区性机构根据申请所颁发的一种文件,这种文件记载了发明创造的内容,并且在一定的时间期间内产生这样的一种法律状况,即获得专利的发明在一般情况下只有经专利权人的许可才能予以实施。” 专利权是知识产权的主要组成部分之一,而知识产权是一种关于无形财产的财产权,其保护对象是“人的心智、人的智力创造”。这是将其称为“知识产权”的原因。 正如任何财产权的内容、范围以及财产所有人的权利、义务要受到某些限制一样,专利权也不是一种绝对的权利。例如当一项在后专利是对他人的在前专利的某种改进时,在后专利的专利权人未经在前专利的专利权人同意,就不能实施自己的发明创造,否则就构成侵犯在先专利的行为。当发明创造涉及国家和公众的重大利益时,国家可以对该专利予以推广应用或者批准强制许可。 在我国历史上,专利制度的孕育是同中国封建社会的解体、商品市场的逐渐形成联系在一起的。19世纪中叶,外国资本主义的入侵促进了中国社会的演变,自给自足的自然经济基础受到破坏,为发展资本主义生产提供了某些客观的条件和可能。一些接受了西方资产阶级民主思想的知识分子开始将专利制度的思想引入中国。1898年(光绪24年),光绪皇帝接受维新派建议,决心变法,在“百

解读2009年新专利法 2008年12月27日在中华人民共和国第十一届全国人民代表大会常务委员会第六次会议上通过了《全国人民代表大会常务委员会关于修改《中华人民共和国专利法>的决定》。自2009年10月1日起施行。 一、对遗传资源利用的特别规定 新专利法对于与遗传资源有关的发明创造作了的规定,在专利法第五条中规定,对违反法律、行政法规的规定获取或者利用遗传资源,并依赖该遗传资源完成的发明创造,不授予专利权。因此在申请专利时,当发明创造与遗传资源有时,专利申请人应当证明有关遗传资源的合法性。对此,新专利法第二十六条中增加了一款规定,依赖遗传资源完成的发明创造,申请人应当在专利申请文件中说明该遗传资源的直接来源和原始来源;申请人无法说明原始来源的,应当陈述理由。 二、对同一发明的两次申请的规定 同一发明专利只能得到一项发明专利权,但现实中有些专利申请人因无法确定自己的发明创造是发明还是实用新型,往往两者同时申请。对于这种情况新专利法在第九条中特别增加了一款,规定认为同样的发明创造只能授予一项专利权。但是,同一申请人同日对同样的发明创造既申请实用新型专利又申请发明专利,先获得的实用新型专利权尚未终止,且申请人声明放弃该实用新型专利权的,可以授予发明专利权。 三、增加许诺销售为专利权行使的范围 在新专利法第十一、六十九条中,规定(1)外观设计专利权被授予后,任何单位或者个人未经专利权人许可,都不得实施其专利,即不得为生产经营目的制造、许诺销售、销售、进口其外观设计专利产品。(2)专利产品或者依照专利方法直接获得的产品,由专利权人或者经其许可的单位、个人售出后,使用、许诺销售、销售、进口该产品的不视为侵犯专利权。从第十一条来看,新专利法加大了对外观设计的保护,使外观设计专利权的保护范围和发明、实用新型一样,都包含了许诺销售。从第六十九条来看,新专利法扩大了购买了专利产品或者依照专利方法直接获得的产品的所有权人对该产品的使用范围,使所有权人可以许诺销售和进口自己购买的产品。 四、专利许可合同的订立形式 新专利法第十二条规定,任何单位或者个人实施他人专利的,应当与专利权人订立实施许可合同,向专利权人支付专利使用费。被许可人无权允许合同规定以外的任何单位或者个人实

《中华人民共和国专利法》读书笔记 第一章总则 第一条立法宗旨 为了保护专利权人的合法权益,鼓励发明创造,推动发明创造的应用,提高创新能力,促进科学技术进步和经济社会发展,制定本法。 释: 1、保护专利权人的合法利益 2、鼓励发明创造 3、推动发明创造的应用 4、提高创新能力,促进科学技术进步和经济社会发展 第二条发明创造的定义 本法所称的发明创造是指发明、实用新型和外观设计。 发明,是指对产品、方法或者其改进所提出的新的技术方案。 实用新型,是指对产品的形状、构造或者其结合所提出的适于实用的新的技术方案。 外观设计,是指对产品的形状、图案或者其结合以及色彩与形状、图案的结合所作出的富有美感并适于工业应用的新设计。 一、发明 释: 1、《专利审查指南》对“技术方案”作了如下解释: 技术方案:是对要解决的技术问题所采取的利用了自然

规律的技术手段的集合。技术手段通常是由技术特征来体现的。 未采用技术手段解决技术问题,以获得符合自然规律的技术效果的方案,不属于专利法第二条第二款规定的客体。 气味或者诸如声、光、电、磁、波等信号或者能量也不属于专利法第二条第二款的规定的客体。但是利用其性质解决技术问题的,则不属于此列。 2、《专利审查指南2010》第二部分专门加入了“关于涉及计算机程序的发明专利申请审查的若干规定”,其中规定: 如果涉及计算机程序的发明专利申请的解决方案执行计算机程序的目的是解决技术问题,在计算机上运行计算机程序从而对外部或内部对象进行控制或处理所反映的是遵循自然规律的技术手段,并且由此获得的符合自然规律的技术效果,则这种解决方案属于专利法第二条第二款所说的技术方案,属于专利保护的客体。 如果涉及计算机程序的发明专利申请的解决方案执行计算机程序的目的不是解决技术问题,或者在计算机上运行计算机程序从而对外部或内部对象进行控制或处理所反映的不是利用自然规律的技术手段,或者获得的不是受自然规律约束的效果,则这种解决技术方案不属于专利法第二条第二款所说的技术方案,不属于专利保护的客体。 3、所谓“积极效果”或者“有益效果”,是指通过发明创造的实施能够给公众或者社会带来益处,使发明创造具有予以实施应用的价值。多、快、好、省、方便、便宜等都能构成“积极”和“有益”效果。 4、技术特征 技术方案由技术特征组成。产品的技术方案的技术特征可以是零件、部件、材料、器具、设备、装置的形状、结构、

专利可以同时申请发明和实用新型专利吗

可以同时申请发明和实用新型专利吗对于一项发明创造是否可以同时获得两项专利授权及是否可以同时申请发明专利和实用新型专利专利的问题,我们来做详细解读。先来看看发明专利与实用新型专利的区别。 发明专利和实用新型专利的区别 发明专利和实用新型专利的根本区别在于发明专利的发明是指对产品、方法或其改进提出的新的技术方案,而实用新型专利是指对产品的形状、构造或者其结合所提出的适于实用的新的技术方案。 发明专利 发明专利申请是针对产品、方法或者产品、方法的改进所提出的新的技术方案,可以申请发明专利。发明专利是专利法保护的专利的三种类型之一,而且法律状态最为稳定技术价值最高。 发明是一项新的技术方案,技术方案是指运用自然规律解决人类生产、生活中某一特定技术问题的具体构思,是利用自然规律、自然力使之产生一定效果的方案。技术方案一般由若干技术特征组成。例如产品技术方案的技术特征可以是零件、部件、材料、器具、设备、

装置的形状、结构、成分、尺寸等等;方法技术方案的技术特征可以是工艺、步骤、过程,所涉及的时间、温度、压力以及所采用的设备和工具等等。各个技术特征之间的相互关系也是技术特征。 发明可以分为产品发明和方法发明。 产品发明包括所有由人创造出来的物品做出的发明,是一项以物质形式出现的发明,如机器、仪表、新材料、新物质等。 方法发明包括所有利用自然规律的方法,又可以分为制造方法和操作使用方法两种类型,是一项以程序的过程形式出现的发明,如产品的制造加工工艺、产品的使用方法、化学方法、生物方法等。 专利法保护的发明也可以是对现有产品或方法的改进。绝大多数发明都是对现有技术的改进,例如对某些技术特征进行新的组合,对某些技术特征进行新的选择等,只要这些组合或选择产生了新的技术效果,就是可以获得专利保护的发明。 实用新型专利 实用新型专利申请是针对产品的形状、构造或者其结合所提出的适于实用的新的技术方案,可以申请实用新型专利。专利法中对实用新型的创造性和技术水平要求较发明专利低,但实用价值大,在这个意义上,实用新型有时会被人们又称小发明或小专利。

专利法实施细则解读

《专利法实施细则》修正案逐条解说 主讲人:何越峰来源:博派专利论坛白无 以下是由白无整理笔记,加入自己一些心得,相关的研究结论汇总而成 一、期限的计算原R6中修改了一处“期限届满日是法定节假日的,以节假日后的第一个工作日为期限届满日”修改成了“期限届满日是法定休假日的,以节假日后的第一个工作日为期限届满日”这一点,我在之前的专利法实施细则修改对照上没有看到这一处的示意,是不是之前做对照的人都把这一个小小的改动忽略了呢,何博士指出这一点修改近一步放松了对期限的计算标准。不仅法定假日和节日连调休日都可以顺延期限。 关于期限届满,我经常在想这样一个问题,会不会有考试出一个这样的试题:某发明专利申请日是2008年2月21日,优先权日是2007年的11月6日,申请人应该在下列哪个期限之前提出实质审查请求?A、2011年2月21日B、2010年11月6日C、2010年2月21日D、2010年11月8日发现我想到的是一个怎样的bug了吗?按照我们一般做题的思路肯定是选B了,自优先权日起3年内提出,但是2010年的11月6日,就是我们正在考试的周六,那么我们很明显知道11月8日才是应该顺延到的第一个工作日,这种情况下,是不是我们应该从实际出发选择D呢?其实从实务角度来说或者从细则上规定而言都应该去推算应当届满的日期是不是公休日,但是对于假期顺延的规定一般只是在元旦、国庆这样明显假日会考察,别的日期我们不太可能去推算到底是不是休假日,那么这样的一个题,不是明显的假期,但是细心的人都会注意到这个日子我们确实有理由知道是假期。 二、恢复权利要求的条件和要求将第七条改为第六条,增加一款,作为第三款:“当事人依照本条第一款或者第二款的规定请求恢复权利的,应当提交恢复权利请求书,说明理由,必要时附具有关证明文件,并办理权利丧失前应当办理的相应手续;依照本条第二款的规定请求恢复权利的,还应当缴纳恢复权利请求费。”根据何博士的说明,在当初修改法案的意见征集时,公众提出是否可以扩大不可抗力因素到一些生活方面原因,而最后研究的结果还是只把自然灾害和大型灾难作为不可抗力因素,近几年专利局接受过的不可抗力因素是恢复理由是:美国911袭击事件、汶川地震。

解读专利法修正案草案

专利法修正案草案提交十三届全国人大常委会第七次会议审议。草案加强对专利权人合法权益的保护,促进专利实施和运用,并将一批实践证明成熟的做法上升为法律规范。 专利侵权法定赔偿额拟提高为10万元至500万元,网络服务提供者将对网络专利侵权承担连带责任,单位对职务发明创造专利权可以依法处置,新设专利开放许可制度,完善专利授权制度……此次专利法修改落实党中央、国务院关于知识产权工作的重要部署,基于我国自身发展需要,从现实国情出发,重点解决我国专利领域存在的突出问题。 国家知识产权局局长申长雨在作草案审议的说明时表示,加强知识产权保护、提高自主创新能力,已经成为加快转变经济发展方式、实施创新驱动发展战略的内在需要。我国现行专利法于1985年施行,进行过三次修正,对鼓励和保护发明创造、促进科技进步和创新发挥了重要作用。随着形势发展,专利领域出现了一些新情况、新问题。为了进一步贯彻落实党中央、国务院部署要求,解决实践中存在的问题,有必要修改现行专利法。 加大对侵犯专利权的赔偿力度,显著提高违法成本,充分显示法律威慑作用,草案拟规定:对故意侵犯专利权,情节严重的,可以在按照权利人受到的损失、侵权人获得的利益或者专利许可使用费倍数计算的数额一到五倍内确定赔偿数额;并将在难以计算赔偿数额的情况下法院可以酌情确定的赔偿额,从现行专利法规定的1万元到100万元提高为10万元到500万元。 为解决专利维权举证难题,完善举证责任,草案拟增加规定:人民法院为确定赔偿数额,在权利人已经尽力举证,而与侵权行为相关的账簿、资料主要由侵权人掌握的情况下,可以

责令侵权人提供与侵权行为相关的账簿、资料,侵权人不提供或者提供虚假的账簿、资料的,人民法院可以参考权利人的主张和提供的证据判定赔偿数额。 在完善专利行政执法方面,草案拟增加规定:国务院专利行政部门可以应专利权人或者利害关系人的请求处理在全国有重大影响的专利侵权纠纷;管理专利工作的部门应专利权人或者利害关系人的请求处理专利侵权纠纷,对在本行政区域内侵犯其同一专利权的案件可以合并处理;对跨区域侵犯其同一专利权的案件可以请求上级人民政府管理专利工作的部门处理。 为应对不断增多的网络专利侵权现象,明确网络服务提供者对网络专利侵权的连带责任,草案拟进一步规定:专利权人或者利害关系人可以依据人民法院生效的判决书、裁定书、调解书,或者管理专利工作的部门作出的责令停止侵权的决定,通知网络服务提供者采取删除、屏蔽、断开侵权产品链接等必要措施,网络服务提供者未及时采取必要措施的,要承担连带责任。 为促进专利实施和运用,明确单位对职务发明创造的处置权,草案拟增加规定:单位对职务发明创造申请专利的权利和专利权可以依法处置,实行产权激励,采取股权、期权、分红等方式,使发明人或者设计人合理分享创新收益,促进相关发明创造的实施和运用。 在加强专利转化服务方面,草案拟规定:国务院专利行政部门应当加强专利信息公共服务体系建设,提供专利信息基础数据,促进专利信息传播与利用;国务院专利行政部门、地方人民政府管理专利工作的部门应当会同同级相关部门采取措施,加强专利公共服务,促进专利实施和运用。

无效的理由专利法实施细则65条

无效的理由专利法实施细则65条

无效期间专利文件修改的有关规定: 审查指南相关规定 1、发明或实用新型专利文件的修改仅限于权利要求书,其原则是: 1)不得改变原权利要求的主题名称; 2)与授权的权利要求相比,不得扩大原专利的保护范围; 3)不得超出原说明书和权利要求书记载的范围; 4)一般不得增加未包含在授权的权利要求书中的技术特征 2、修改权利要求书的具体方式一般限于权利要求的删除、合并和技术方案的删除。 权利要求的合并是指两项或者两项以上相互无从属关系但在授权公告文本中从属于同一独立权利要求的权利要求的合并。该新的权利要求应当包含被合并的从属权利要求中的全部技术特征。在独立权利要求未作修改的情况下,不允许对其从属权利要求进行合并式修改。 3、在专利复审委员会作出审查决定之前,专利权人可以删除权利要求或者权利要求中包括的技术方案。 仅在下列三种情形的答复期限内,专利权人可以以合并的方式修改权利要求书: (1)针对无效宣告请求书; (2)针对请求人增加的无效宣告理由或者补充的证据; (3)针对专利复审委员会引入的请求人未提及的无效宣告理由或证据。 判断创造性的“三步法: (1)、确定最接近的现有技术 (2)、确定发明的区别技术特征以及该区别技术特征所要解决的技术问题 (3)、判断要求保护的发明对本领域的技术人员来说是否显而易见 显而易见就是判定对比文件是否公开了上述区别技术特征,以及对比文件公开的区别技术特征是起到的作用是否与发明的作用相同,然后再分析领域是否相同,是否显而易见。

新颖性的判断时:一定要体现单独对比原则。 单一性要求合案申请的原则:是否是做出贡献的特定技术特征符合同一发明构思 .

谈谈对知识产权的认识 [对专利的一点认识]

谈谈对知识产权的认识 [对专利的一点认 识] 关于专利的思辨 对于与专利产品相近似的产品来说,判断其是否侵权,目前唯一的理论标准是看其是否落入专利权的保护范围。而是否落入专利权的保护范围,最权威的做法就是:将两个产品的技术特征进行比较,看近似产品的技术特征是否一一落入专利产品的技术特征范围。完全对号入座的,则构成侵权; 如果其中有一项特征不符合,则形成“缺项”,不构成侵权。这也是在目前专利审判工作中常用的判断方法。 勿庸质疑,这种沿袭多年的判断方法有着一定的合理性。但随着市场仿冒产品的不断涌现,正常的市场竞争秩序被打乱,竞争产生无序,专利权人的合法权益成为水中月、镜中花,好看不中用,得不到切实保护。笔者认为,产生这一切问题的根源,一方面在于:人们法治观念的不断增强,所带来的专利侵权风险规避意识的不断提高,以及规避专利侵权风险手段、技能的提高; 而根本原因在于:认定专利侵权理论的简单化、陈旧化,以及由此带来的在实践中判断是否构成专利侵权方法的简单化、平面化。由此给专利权保护留下很大空间,也给不法之徒留下巨大空隙,产生了对专利技术和专利产品保护措施、手段的软弱和滞后。

有一案例很能说明这个问题。 1998年,湖南常德市电气控制设备厂(以下简称常德电控厂),状告淮阴xx申电器有限公司(以下简称xx公司)专利侵权。 原告常德电控厂诉称:原告于1993年7月19日向中国专利局申请了名为“节能型脉冲继电器”的93234366.x实用新型专利,中国专利局于1994年4月8日正式授予专利权。被告xx公司自l995年8月以来生产了jlmd—iia—t“漏电可调脉冲继电器”(第二代)和jlmd—iid(t)“节能型漏电脉冲(触电)继电器”(第三代)两种侵权产品,并在湖南省内大量销售,侵犯了专利权人的合法权益,使专利权人近几年蒙受权大的经济损失。为维护专利权人合法权益,原告请求法院依法判令被告立即停止侵权产品的生产、销售和宣传及公开更正,消除影响,并赔偿专利权人经济损失人民币371.5万元。 被告xx公司则辩称:根据中国专利局的文件记载,原告的节能型脉冲继电器有四个必要的技术特征。而被告的产品的技术特征与原告上述权利要求书中的必要技术特征相对照有着明显的实质区别,被告产品不具有原告权利要求书中“增设了二极管d09”这一必要技术特征。因此,被告生产的产品显然没有侵犯原告的专利权。请求法院依法维护被告的合法权益,驳回原告的诉讼请求。 此案案情并不复杂,但xx和江苏两级法院的判决却很有意思:xx中级法院认为:判断被告产品侵权与否,应以原告专利权利要求书所记载的该项专利必要技术特征内容为准。原告该项专利的权利保护范围是:一种节能型脉冲继电器,它包括底板(1)、外壳(3)、接
