APP专利保护研究

Research on Patent Protection for APP

随着移动互联网技术的发展,APP产业呈现爆炸式增长,由此也引发全社会对APP知识产权保护的关注。相比较APP的版权保护和商标保护而言,APP的专利保护也被称为对APP"核心创意"的保护,因此尤为引发社会关注。然而,针对APP能否受到专利保护以及如何保护等方面,我国相关立法并未给予明确规范,专利审查及执法、司法实践也是众说纷纭。为此,有必要借鉴域外先进经验,针对社会普遍关注的APP专利的"新颖性"、"创造性"等问题给予准确界定,全面完善APP专利保护的立法规范,以期有效促进APP产业的健康发展。

The APP industry grows fast along with the development of mobile internet technology, which arouses great concern of IP protection for APP. Compared with copyright and trademark protection of APP, patent protection draws paticular attenton from the society, as it provides protection for APP's core creativity. However, patent protection for APP in China has lagged far behind the advanced countries in terms of legislation and registration procedures. In order to improve the protection of APP, it is necessary to set up special standards of novelty and creativity, and improve the legislation of patent protection based on the research of the experiences of other countries.
