专利丛林、专利组合和专利联盟——从专利战略到专利群战略

Patent Thicket,Patent Portfolios and Patent Alliance——From Patent Strategy to Patent Cluster Strategy

垄断与创新,这个专利系统不得不面临的悖论难题使专利的专用权存在时空范围.这一特征在以复杂产品系统和累积创新为特征的高科技产业里造成专利丛林现象和互补性问题,从而限制了竞争和创新.为弥补单个专利专有权有限性的缺陷,应对“专利丛林现象”,避免侵权诉讼,确保专利设计自由,越来越多的企业将关注的焦点从单个专利转移到专利群上,积极实施专利组合战略和专利联盟战略.

Monopolization and innovation, which patent system has to face the paradox difficult problem, make the exclusive right of the patent has the space and time scope. This characteristic causes the patent thicket and the complementarities of patent in the high-tech industry with complex product system and accumulation innovation, then limits the competition and innovation. In order to make up the limitation of the exclusive rights of patent, solve the problem of ＂patent thicket＂, avoid the infringement lawsuit and assure the freedom of design, more and more enterprises move their focus from the single patent to the patent cluster, implement the strategy of patent portfolios and patent alliance actively.
