摘要
为了应对近年来专利大幅增长所带来的低质量专利问题,美国2011年修订通过《美国发明法案》(The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act,AIA),通过加强美国专利商标局行政无效专利的手段,提高专利授权质量。美国新的专利授权后行政审查机制主要有三种:单方再审、双方复审和授权后复审。重点对授权后复审这一新的制度进行研究,并将其与欧盟专利异议制度进行比较,从而为我国专利无效制度的完善提供借鉴。
To face the problems of low quality patents caused by growth of patents in the United States in recent years, the newly revised "America Invents Act" (The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, AIA) was passed in 2011 which strengthen the authority of American Patent and Trademark Office in patent invalidation and improve the quality of patents. There are mainly three newly ways on challenging the validity of patents by administrative review mechanism: ex parte reexamination, inter partes reexamination and post grant review. This article will focus on the post-grant review of this new system and compare it with the European patent opposition proceedings to provide enlightenment for the improvement of China's patent invalidation system.
