结合具体案例浅谈催化剂领域用途特征在创造性审查中的考量

Consideration on Use Features of Catalyst Field in the Inventiveness Examination in Combination with Specific Cases

催化剂领域通常采用用途特征对权利要求主题进行描述,然而用途特征并不意味着必然影响权利要求的保护范围界定。本文通过两个案例分析了催化剂领域用途特征在创造性审查中的考量,认为只有充分站位本领域技术人员,把握发明实质,准确判断用途特征与发明所要解决的技术问题以及实现的技术效果之间的关系,才能对发明是否具备创造性作出正确判断,进而也为申请人撰写申请文件和答复审查意见提供合理建议。

The use features of catalyst field are usually used to describe the claim subject,but the use features do not necessarily affect the protection scope of the claim.The article analyzes the consideration of use festures of catalyst field in the inventiveness examination through two cases,it is considered that only to stand on the position of the person skilled in the art accurately,grasp the essence of the invention,precisely judge the relationship among the use features and the technical problem the invention to resolve and its technical effects,the inventiveness of the invention can be correctly judged.In addition,it also provides reasonable suggestions for applicants to write application documents and reply to review opinions.
