授权确权程序的目的是确定权利要求要求保护的技术内容,任务是审视权利要求是否符合授权条件,适合采用宽泛性解释原则。侵权程序的目的是确定权利要求实际保护的技术内容,任务是审视被诉侵权方案是否落入专利权的保护范围,适合采用限制性解释原则。法院受理侵权案件和无效案件,但不宜均采用相同的解释原则,宜于依据程序的不同,在延伸至法院的确权程序中也采用宽泛性解释原则。确权程序宜允许在权利要求中补入说明书中的特征,使权利要求的保护范围更加明确,避免因撰写的瑕疵而导致专利权的无效。但是,这种补入应仅限于对适用宽泛性解释的特征进行澄清,而不是限缩性增加新的技术特征。《专利法》第59条或《专利审查指南》宜对解释原则进行进一步明确,避免不必要的混乱。
The purpose of the authorization confirming procedure is to determine the technical content claimed by the claims. The task is to examine whether the claims comply with the authorization conditions and suitable for adopting the principle of broad interpretation. The purpose of the infringement procedure is to determine the technical content of the actual protection of the claim. The task is to examine whether the infringement scheme under the complaint falls into the protection scope of the patent right and is suitable for adopting the principle of restrictive interpretation. Courts accept infringement cases and invalid cases, but not all adopt the same principle of interpretation. It is appropriate to adopt a broad interpretation principle in accordance with the different procedures and in the procedure of confirmation of rights extended to the courts. The corpus procedure should allow the claims to be supplemented with features in the description to make the scope of the claims more explicit and to avoid invalidation of the patent right as a result of the written defects. However, such revisions should be limited to the clarification of features that apply to broad interpretation, rather than to limiting the addition of new technical features. Article 59 of the Patent Law or the Guidelines for Patent Examination should further clarify the principle of interpretation and avoid unnecessary confusion.
