论我国专利创造性判断中技术启示认定标准的完善

On the Improvement of the Standards for the Identification of Technical Inspiration in the Judgment of the Inventiveness of Patents in China

专利申请的创造性判断标准一定程度归于其是否“非显而易见”,而专利申请的非显而易见性的判断则归于现有技术对该方案是否具有技术启示。但目前我国对于技术启示的认定标准不完善,在实践中常引起较大争议。应当限制“本领域常用技术手段”及“公知常识”两大驳回理由的滥用,针对性设置判断主体在不同技术领域中的知识与能力范围,建立有关技术启示认定典型问题的指引规则,以使技术启示认定标准趋于完善。

The inventiveness judgment standard of a patent application is attributed to whether it is “non-obvious” to a certain extent, while the non-obviousness judgment of a patent application is attributed to whether the prior art has technical implications for the solution. However, at present, my country’s identification standards for technical inspiration are not perfect, which of-ten cause great controversy in practice. The abuse of the two grounds for rejection of “commonly used technical means in this field” and “common knowledge” should be restricted, the range of knowledge and ability of the subject of judgment in different technical fields should be set in a targeted manner, and guidelines for typical issues related to the identification of technical revelations should be established, so that standards for identification of technical inspiration tend to be perfected.
