欧洲专利局倾听公众意见,进行重大改组

欧洲专利局倾听公众意见，进行重大改组作者：米开拉·莫迪亚罗来源：《中国知识产权》2018年第04期欧洲专利局（EPO）近日完成重大内部改组，旨在提高内部程序的效率。

此次改组还将对该局行政效率产生积极影响，并将提升专利授权和其他服务的质量。

此次改组得益于EPO对自动化和信息技术不间断地投入。

具体而言，EPO内部改组的两大亮点是：1.之前的两个总司，一个是专利审查员总司，另一个是辅助人员（被称为“形式审查员”）总司现已合并为单一总司。

这将减少专利案件在各职能部门之间的来回传递，同时也将在单一管理体制下提高EPO各程序步骤的效率。

这一新的单一总司的业务将分给三个新的部门，以回应主要专利授权领域当前以及在可预见未来的发展趋势。

这三个部门是：● 信息和通信技术；● 医疗，生化技术；以及● 移动和机电工程。

2.设立了新的专门处理EPO授权后的异议程序的多个司。

应对公众对于这些程序效率性和一致性的更高要求，不论他们是专利权人、异议人亦或是第三方，这些专业司都将提高异议程序的效率并增强EPO各机构裁决的统一性。

最后，同时也是为了进一步增强EPO与用户之间的联系纽带，该局将用户支持团队与质量管理团队合并为一个新的单独机构。

这样做是为了使EPO能够依托用户反馈来不断改善其服务。

该机构还可以在处理未来其职责范围内的EPO程序工作项目中对用户反馈加以利用。

以上所述组织机构改组在客观上具有重要意义，并清楚地表明EPO愿意倾听用户意见的愿望并尽其所能在其领域内满足客户需求。

具体而言，这些变化表明EPO正在努力使其工作程序更加顺畅有效，以满足用户呼声最高的需求，即EPO工作程序的效率和速度。

这些变化显示出EPO的光明前景，其积极影响必将在不远的将來展现给广大用户。

European Patent Register An introductory guidePublished and edited by European Patent Ofﬁ ce, Vienna, Austria © EPO 2011 All rights reserved Where to ﬁ ndwhat you needContains bibliographic and procedural information on the current status of a particular patent application, plus history.Shows the most important legal events in the European and Euro-PCT procedure plus any information available to the EPO on the fate of the European patent once it becomes the responsibility of the designated states following grant.Lists all events relating to a ﬁ le in chrono-logical order.Displays a list of documents found during the patentability search for the European patent application or cited by the applicant.Displays a list of documents from around the world that are linked to the European patent application by a common priority number.Gives access to all documents in the public part of a ﬁ le, also known as online ﬁ leinspection or “ﬁle wrapper”. About this ﬁ leLegal status Event history Citations Patent family All documentsThe European Patent Register is divided into sections giving you access to different types of information about the patent application you are interested in.What is the European Patent Register?The European Patent Register is the place wherethe European Patent Ofﬁ ce stores all the publiclyavailable information it has on Europeanpatent applications as they pass through the grantprocedure. It is a free internet service accessible viathe quick link /register, which forwardsyou automatically to the secure Register server. What can the European Patent Register do for you?You can use the Register to:ﬁ nd out what stage in the procedure a Europeanpatent application has reachedsee whether a European patent application hasbeen granted, or will be granted sooncheck whether any oppositions to a Europeanpatent have been ﬁ ledread correspondence between the EPO anda patent applicant/attorneydownload data for later study.What is in the European Patent Register?The Register contains procedural information on allEuropean patent applications from the momentthey are published.It also contains all the public documents in theEPO’s ﬁ le (often called the “ﬁ le wrapper”).What is the Register Alert service?If you are interested in tracking speciﬁ c Europeanpatent applications, you can sign up for the RegisterAlert service, which will automatically send youan e-mail alert every time something happens toany of these applications in the course of the grantprocedure.You can monitor your own ﬁ les and other people’spatent applications.Getting startedSmart search allows you to enter either single-word or multi-word searches or more complex search commands. You can use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) and you can also formulate your search using ﬁ eld identiﬁ ers. Alternatively you can type in the number of a patent document. Online “Help” provides advice on how to formulate queries.Quick search gives you immediate access to a ﬁ le when you know the EP application or publication number or the ﬁ ling date.Advanced search allows searches based on twelve search criteria.Searching for procedural dataFirst go to /register. This will take you directly to theSmart search screen on the secure Register server.Looking at the resultsIf your search produces more than one hit, the results will appear in a list on your screen. Just click on the title to see the details of any patent application that interests you.To see the patent application in Espacenet, click on this linkWhen you open a patent application, the current status and the most recent event are displayed at the top of the page. Then come details of the patent application.Inspecting ﬁ lesTo inspect the ﬁ le for a particular patentapplication, simply click on the “All docu-ments” button on the left of the screen.A new screen will appear, listing the documents in groups by pro-cedural stage in the public part of the ﬁ le, including correspondence between the EPO and the applicant (or the patent attorney).Click on the document title to open it in PDF format.When a document opens, onlythe ﬁ rst page is displayed.To print all the pages, click on“Load all pages”.

欧盟《关于标准必要专利和修订（EU）2017

摘　要：近期，欧盟出台了《关于标准必要专利和修订（EU）2017/1001号条例的提案》，本文对该提案的发布背景和具体措施进行了分析，并围绕该提案对我国企业的影响、知识产权政策启示以及我国产业与企业应对进行了探讨。

该提案意图建立更具透明性、可预测性的体系以促进SEP许可，提出“建立职能中心”“确定总许可费率”“支持中小微企业”等措施。

提案虽加重了SEP权利人的负担，但对于我国为数众多的SEP实施者来说，有助于增强SEP许可中的透明性和可预测性。

我国政府、学者和产业界可以借鉴欧盟做法，研究这些措施在中国的可行性，提出符合我国利益与实际情况的方案，相关产业与企业应当积极研究草案内容，关注后续动态，充分利用规则。

This paper analyzes the background and specific measures of the proposal, and explores the impact of the proposal on Chinese enterprises, the inspiration of intellectual property policies, and the response of Chinese industries and enterprises. The proposal aims to establish a more transparent and predictable system to promote SEP licensing, proposing measures such as “establishing functional centers”, “determining total licensing rates”, and “supporting small and medium-sized enterprises”. Although the proposal increases the burden on SEP rights holders, it helps to enhance transparency and predictability in SEP licensing for many SEP implementers in China. Our government, scholars, and industry can learn from the practices of the European Union,欧盟《关于标准必要专利和修订（EU）2017/1001号条例的提案》述评与我国应对冀瑜邢禹* 郑璇（中国计量大学）基金项目：本课题受之江实验室开放项目“智能计算领域标准必要专利的导航策略研究”（项目编号：K2022NH0AB03）和浙江省科技计划重点软科学研究项目“科技型中小企业知识产权证券化路径研究—以温州为例”（项目编号：2021C25030）资助。

欧洲专利局发布2018版欧洲专利审查指南

欧洲专利局发布2018版欧洲专利审查指南作者：米开拉·莫迪亚罗来源：《中国知识产权》2018年第11期欧洲专利局（EPO）刚刚公布了2018年新版《欧洲专利审查指南》。

该新版指南将从2018年11月1日起开始生效。

欧洲专利局每年都会更新这些指南。

指南由8部分组成，涉及：·●形式审查·●检索·●实质审查程序·●反对，限制和撤销程序·●常规流程事项·●欧洲专利申请要求（例如充分公开性，明确性，发明统一性，优先权）·●专利性（例如专利资格，现有技术定义，新颖性，创造性）·●修订和更正2018年新版《指南》对8个部分都进行了修订。

特别的是，很多修订都与扩大上诉委员会最近的决定有关，即欧洲专利局及上诉委员会的最高决定。

新版本同时也是综合EPO系统用户们建议和意见的结果。

例如，与手续审查有关的部分，包括提及信用卡作为新的支付方式，和其他反应出的通过EPO存款账户支付的变化。

该部分还包括与突尼斯和柬埔寨的验证协议，分别签订于2017年和2018年。

同样，在与欧洲专利申请要求有关的部分中，对涉及权利明确性和发明统一性的章节进行了大幅修改。

另一个值得注意的例子与可专利性有关。

该版本修订了专利适格性章节，并引入了与人工智能（AI）和机器学习等有关的新的分章。

在这个主题上，2018年新版《指南》指出AI和机器学习“基于计算模型和算法进行分类，聚类，回归和降维……这样的计算模型和算法本身就是抽象的数学性质，不论他们是否可以基于训练数据进行‘训练’。

因此，作为一项规则，欧洲专利局通常会仔细考虑这些模型和算法是否是纯粹的数学方法，哪怕是计算机化的。

如果是的话，根据欧洲专利公约，其不具有专利资格。

“尽管如此，该指南也承认了人工智能和机器学习“在各种技术领域中找到应用”。

举例来说，该指南引用心脏监测设备中的神经网络来识别不规则心跳，并基于低级特征对数字图像，视频，音频或语音信号进行分类，作为分类算法的典型技术应用。
