浅析生物发明专利申请中如何进行生物材料保藏

Analysis on Depositing Biological Materials in Biological Inventions for the Patent Application

生物领域的专利申请常常会遇到是否需要对生物材料进行保藏的问题,由于专利法涉及生物材料保藏的法条属于专利审批中的驳回条款,因此,充分了解专利法在生物材料保藏方面的规定对我国生物领域的科研工作者寻求专利保护有着重要的意义。文章就专利法及实施细则对生物材料保藏的相关规定进行解读,对生物专利申请中为什么要对生物材料进行保藏,哪些生物材料需要保藏,如何进行保藏,未及时保藏如何进行补救等方面进行详细介绍,希望通过介绍能够解答申请者面对上述问题时的困惑,为生物领域的科研工作者在申请生物相关专利时提供一些帮助。

The patent applications in biological field often encounter the problems about whether it is necessary to preserve thebiological materials used in the inventions. If the application is not complying with the Patent Law,it would be rejected. Therefore, it is very important for the inventors to fully understand the provisions of the Patent Law about the preservation of biological materials. Patent Law and the implementation details to the relevant provisions of the preservation of biological materials will be introduced in this paper,such as why the biological materials should be preserved, what kind of biological materials must be preserved, how to preserve all the biological materials and how to rescue them if the inventors forget to preserve materials in time. We hope that this introduction can answer all the above questions and provide some help for the inventors in the field of biology.
