這份材料可以成為初學者的教材,十分淺顯易懂,又專業。
一些截圖加上我的簡單註解。
釐清用語:
專利審查委員的責任:
簡化的審查流程:
Title 35 U.S.C.的意義:
Title 37 CFR的意義:
主要專利核駁的法律基礎:
解釋專利範圍:
MPEP 2103
"C. Review the Claims
The claims define the property rights provided by a patent, and thus require careful scrutiny. The goal of claim analysis is to identify the boundaries of the protection sought by the applicant and to understand how the claims relate to and define what the applicant has indicated is the invention. Examiners must first determine the scope of a claim by thoroughly analyzing the language of the claim before determining if the claim complies with each statutory requirement for patentability. See In re Hiniker Co., 150 F.3d 1362, 1369, 47 USPQ2d 1523, 1529 (Fed. Cir. 1998) (“[T]he name of the game is the claim.”)."
102:新穎性明顯是事實議題,也就是技術比技術,有事實基礎,一頁就講完。
103:"非/顯而易見性"是基於事實的法律議題,問題比較複雜,要好幾頁來講。
我發現對於審查委員提出"發明通過修正先前技術可以輕易達成"的103核駁意見的答辯方向:
運用4步驟判斷發明顯而易見性的範例:
接獲After Final Rejection後的標準措施:
最後看到專利獲准後「領證前異議程序(Third party preissuance submissions under 35 U.S.C. 122(e))」:
提交「領證前異議程序」的時間點:
時間點應在「發出核准通知以前」或是「專利申請案第一次公開後6個月後」或是「專利申請案接獲第一次審查意見之後」,以當中較早的為準。
