請教各位大大
小弟手上有件美國申請案被審查委員以103核駁
其中一件引證案與本案之發明人相同
此外,上述引證案之公開日以及專利核准日皆早於本案之申請日"少於一年"
然而,上述引證案之申請日卻早於本案之申請日"多於一年"
由於 102 (b)中
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless -
(b) the invention was patented ... in this or a foreign country ... more than
one year prior to the date of application for patent in the United States.
因此,我想知道的是102(b)中的patented應該是指前案的申請日或核准日 ?
如果是指申請日,則上述同一發明人之前案當然適格作為本案之引證案
如果是指核准日,則應可質疑同一發明人之前案作為引證案之適格性?
ps.
根據mpep 2126.01所述
The date the patent is available as a reference is generally "the date that
the patent becomes enforceable." This date is the date the sovereign formally
bestows patents rights to the applicant...
所以我個人認為patented應該是指前案之核准日
然而 我同事認為 如果是指前案之核准日 那個statutory bar未免太長了
因為一個案子的早期公開日是18個月 專利核准日可能須更久
如果是指核准日 那不就可為發明人總共爭取到兩三年的時間去申請下一個申請案?
