非正常申请专利行为实证研究

An Empirical Study on Abnormal Patent Application in China

摘要:

中国专利申请量逐年增加的同时也出现了大量的非正常申请专利行为。政策对非正常申请专利行为的打击力度逐渐加大，但是非正常申请专利行为并无客观的衡量指标，仅靠主观判定容易引发争议。本文研究了非正常申请专利行为所具有的特征，并且设计了专利检索式进行了检索和验证，结果表明，非正常申请专利行为具有批量申请、利用费减、不提实审、文本质量差、关联补贴政策等特征，进而给出了一些抑制非正常申请的建议，包括审查部门制定客观衡量指标的筛查程序、建立非正常申请行为黑名单、调整费用减缓政策等。

Abstract:

The number of patent applications in China has increased year by year, and there are also a lot of abnormal patent applications at the same time. The policy has been increasing to the impact of abnormal patent application, but there is no objective measures to identify abnormal patent applications. This paper gives the characteristics of abnormal patent applications, and designs a patent retrieval mode for retrieval and verification. The results show that the abnormal patent applications have the characteristics of applying for lots of patents in a short time, using cost reduction policy, giving up entering into the substantive examination phase, low quality of patent documents,and attempt to get subsidy.Therefore, some suggestions are given to restrain abnormal applications, including establishing objective measures to identify abnormal patent applications for the examination department, the establishment of abnormal application blacklist, adjustment of reduction policy, etc.
