论创造性判断中的技术启示问题

张  静 *

【摘要】技术启示的内涵在不同历史阶段有所不同；其所涵盖内容的变化受一定时期专利政策的影响。应将技术启示的认定问题与国内专利政策紧密联系，适时纳入新的内容。我国实践中认可的技术启示来源不局限于《专利审查指南》中列举的类型；该做法值得赞同。技术启示的来源不仅包括明确的技术启示，还包括技术本身的需求和公知常识等隐含的技术启示。前者是直接反映在现有技术文献之中的技术启示，较容易判定；后者并非明确、清晰地存在于现有技术文献之中，需要审查员和法官在整体上综合判断。

The Suggestions in the Practice of Nonobviousness Examination

Zhang Jing

Abstract: The connotation of suggestions varies in different historical stages, being heavily influenced by the simultaneous patent policy. The test of suggestion should be closely connected with domestic patent policy, and some new content of suggestion should be introduced in time of need. The sources of suggestions are not confined to the Guideline for Patent Examination in Chinese practice of patent examination; this is agreeable. The sources of suggestions include both explicit suggestions and implicit one. The former is directly reflected in the existing references and normally easy to determine, while the latter do not exist in prior art clearly and plainly, and therefore need overall judgment on the whole to determine.

Keywords: nonobviousness; sources of technical suggestion; implicit suggestion
