主要原因是因為專利說明書日後存檔,被使用者瀏覽文件時,會自動對特定網址或是程式產生超連結,使用者可能會點入並連結到特定網頁,此點,USPTO的文件不能被允許連結到特定與官方無關的網址!
如果專利說明書出現上述超連結或是特定程式,審查委員將會提出Objections,並要求刪除!
[本段原文]
Examiners must review patent applications to make certain that hyperlinks and other forms of browser-executable code, especially commercial site URLs, are not included in a patent application.
再根據37 CFR 1.57(d)的規定,說明書中的超連結或是其他形式的瀏覽器可執行碼都不被允許
[原文]
Other material ("Nonessential material") may be incorporated by reference to U.S. patents, U.S. patent application publications, foreign patents, foreign published applications, prior and concurrently filed commonly owned U.S. applications, or non-patent publications. An incorporation by reference by hyperlink or other form of browser executable code is not permitted.
列舉一例:

申請專利範圍的撰寫也是要避免相關記載!
