马库什权利要求的优先权判断规则

Determination of Priority Right for Markush Claims

关于马库什权利要求的性质,实践中有“整体技术方案论”和“并列技术方案论”两种观点,对马库什权利要求的定性直接影响到马库什权利要求优先权是否成立的判断。在整体技术方案论的视角下,通常采用“马库什通式整体对比法”判断马库什权利要求的优先权,而在并列技术方案论视角下,通常采用“单个化合物对比法”判断马库什权利要求的优先权。文章讨论了前述两种优先权判断方法的合理性,在此基础上,探究了采用“先拆分后对比法”判断马库什权利要求优先权的可行性。

There are two viewpoints of"entire technical solution theory"and"parallel technical solution theory"for Markush claims'nature,which is directly related to the determination of Markush claims'priority right."Markush general formula overall comparison method"and"single compound comparison method"are used to determine the priority right of Markush claims under the"entire technical solution theory"and the"parallel technical solution theory",respectively.The paper discusses the rationality of the above two methods for the Markush claims'priority right,and proposes the feasibility of determining the priority right of Markush claims by"first split and then comparison method"and related problems.
