中文摘要 | 發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者」(下稱「通常知識者」)是專利法制中相當重要之概念,然我國法院判決中從未具體認定「通常知識者」之能力或學經歷標準,亦未曾說明審判中係如何虛擬成「通常知識者」以進行進步性之判斷,引發進步性是否淪為法官或技術審查官之主觀判斷的疑慮。本文之法實證研究區分成量化研究與質性研究二部分,結論與建議包含:研究前預設之命題全部成立:大部分「專利審理者」於審理進步性時未決定「通常知識者」之技術水準,亦未虛擬之,而是以自身為標準;專利進步性審查之建議:建構出「專利審理者」決定並將自己虛擬成「通常知識者」之標準流程;修法建議:將專利法中「通常知識者」修改成「專利所屬技術領域中具有通常技能者」;對於智慧財產局之建議:專利審查官之選任宜儘量選擇具有產業經驗者;以及對於智慧財產法院之建議:技術審查官之數量必須再增加,且最好有產業經驗。 |
英文摘要 | The PHOSITA (person having ordinary skill in the art) is an important concept in the current Patent Law. For example, PHOSITA is the objective standard for determining patent non-obviousness. Theoretically, when the patent examiners or judges (hereinafter “the Decision Makers”) examine the non-obviousness of a patent, they need to determine the technology level of the PHOSITA first. However, a review of our courts’ decisions shows that our courts have never identified the PHOSITA’s skill/experience level. Nor have they explained how to judge the non-obviousness in the perspective of the PHOSITA during the course of the decision-making. Consequently, it raises the question of whether the Decision Makers determine the patent nonobviousness subjectively. |
