论我国专利制度改革的三个维度

On the Three Dimensions in Reforming China’s Patent System

自1985年4月以来,我国专利制度已经运行了近35年。面临国家创新驱动发展战略的要求,无论是专利法律体系,还是专利行政体系和司法体系,都应当进行改革。本文建议,改革我国的专利法律体系,仅仅对于创造性程度较高的技术发明提供专利保护,而对于实用新型和外观设计则提供其他权利保护。同时,应当改革专利行政体系,将工作重心转移到专利的审查、批准和相关的服务上;改革专利司法体系,通过新的技术类知识产权法院体系的建设,协调和统一专利有效与否、侵权与否的标准。本文认为,专利法律体系、专利行政体系和专利司法体系应当准确定位,各司其职,进而实现严格保护专利权的目的。

Since April 1985,the Chinese patent system has been operated for almost 35 years.To meet the requirement of the innovation-driven development strategy,the patent legal system,administrative system,and judicial system,must all be reformed.This paper suggests dividing the current Patent Law into three parts,i.e.Patent Law,Utility Model Law,and Design Law,and only awarding patent protection to the technological inventions which is of higher innovative degree.Meanwhile,the patent administrative system should focus on the patent examination,granting,and relevant services.The patent judicial system,should be responsible for harmonizing and unifying the standards for patent invalidation infringement judgement.It is believed that only when the patent legal system,administrative system and judicial system can fulfill their respective job,the purpose of strict protection of patent can be achieved.
