※ 引述《PumpkinHead (PumpkinHead)》之銘言：
: 請問版上的各位大大
: 最近讀到美國新法35 USC 102(b)(2)(c) 新穎性喪失之例外
: 以下法條原文
: 102(b)(2)
: Exceptions.- DISCLOSURES APPEARING IN APPLICATIONS AND PATENTS- A disclosure
: shall not be prior art to a claimed invention under subsection (a)(2) if-
: (c) the subject matter disclosed and the claimed invention, not later than the
: effective filing date of the claimed invention, were owned by the the same
: person or subject to an obligation of assignment to the same person.
: 所以說根據這法條 一間公司所擁有的專利都不會變成該公司往後專利申請案的先前技術
: 了嗎 ??
: 一個專利菜鳥的疑問 希望大家不吝指教
: 謝謝~

如果不符合紅底的部分根本就逃不過102(a)(1)，

如果你逃過102(a)(1)，然後又符合102(a)(2)的exception，才可以不被視為prior art
、被用102打。
