摘要
自1980年初次引入单方再审查程序起,美国逐渐放弃以前仅由法院审查专利有效性的传统。经过1999年和2011年专利法改革,美国最终成为专利确权双轨制的典型国家。近年来,专利行政确权程序在美国得到扩张,既深受企业欢迎,同时也得到地区法院的尊重和谦让。美国专利商标局和地区法院专利确权"双轨"之间虽然存在一定的差异,但由于确定了恰当的诉讼中止规则、禁止反言原则,并且两者均可上诉到联邦巡回上诉法院,有效避免了循环诉讼、关联侵权诉讼久拖不决等问题。该制度既充分发挥了行政机构专利确权专业性强的优势,又体现了司法终局制的长处,有很多值得我国借鉴之处。
Since the introduction of Ex Parte Reexamination in 1980s, United States gradually gives up the tradition that only the court can decide the patent validity. After the patent law reform of 1999 and 2011, United States became a typical country that adopted the bifurcation of patent formulation. Recently, patent administrative formulation procedure was deeply accepted by corporations, and got the respect and courtesy. There are some differences between the double patent formulation procedures of USPTO and local courts, however, owing to proper stop rules, principle of collateral estoppel, and can both appealed to CAFC, United States avoids those problems such as the loop suit and long term of related patent infringement cases. This patent formulation system takes the advantage of specialty of administrative organs, and refects the good quality of judicial fnality, can have many experiences for reference for us.
