Description
本發明係有關於一種專利評審方法與系統,特別是指可供根據不同技術背景的專利申請案,而自動隨機選擇相關背景專長的評審委員,配對進行專利審查,藉以達到公正、公平之目的。 The invention relates to a patent review method and system, in particular to a patent application that can be used according to different technical backgrounds, and automatically selects relevant background expertise of the jury members, and pairs the patent examinations to achieve fairness and fairness.
隨著時代的進步,產業知識的普及化,各個技術領域中的競爭已趨於白熱化,因此各個公司均會申請專利,藉以保護產品或技術,於公開後不會被抄襲仿冒,而一般公司對於所內部所欲提出之專利案件,通常會有一審核之機制,但受限於人力或財力之影響,並無法根據不同案件的技術背景,選擇具有相關背景專長之審核人員進行審核,因此難以在最短的時間內,對於專利案件進行審核,並於核准後再委由專利事務所提出專利申請。 With the advancement of the times and the popularization of industrial knowledge, the competition in various technical fields has become more and more fierce. Therefore, each company will apply for a patent to protect products or technologies, and will not be copied and copied after being disclosed. There is usually a review mechanism for patent cases to be filed internally, but it is limited by the influence of manpower or financial resources. It is not possible to select auditors with relevant background expertise for review according to the technical background of different cases, so it is difficult to minimize Within the time limit, the patent case is reviewed, and after approval, the patent office is filed.
而一般專利案之申請程序,係先向專利審查機關送交專利文件後,再經由相關背景專長之審查委員進行審查,但由於該審查委員之背景專長,是不是與該專利申請案之技術背景相匹配,是否有足夠的專業能力,對於該專利案件進行審查,則不無疑問;又不論是一般公司的專利審核人員,或者是專利審查機關的審查委員,亦容易在審核或審查的期間,受到外力的介入或干擾,故無法達到完全公平及公正的審核及審查之目的。 The application procedure for a general patent case is to first submit the patent document to the patent examination authority, and then review it through the review committee of the relevant background expertise. However, due to the background expertise of the review committee, is it related to the technical background of the patent application?
