商品描述
This book describes the official patent grant procedure before the German Patent and Trade Mark Office and the European Patent Office and provides practical guidance to achieve a swift patent grant. If the patent grant is not successful, the patent office's rejection decision can be challenged by a so-called "applicant's appeal." An existing third-party patent can be challenged within the opposition period through an opposition procedure. After the opposition period has expired, it is possible to request the invalidation of the third-party patent before the Federal Patent Court. Nullity appeal proceedings take place before the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe. Additionally, there are official cancellation procedures against utility models, trademarks, and design rights. All these procedures before the DPMA (German Patent and Trade Mark Office), the EPO (European Patent Office), the BPatG (Federal Patent Court), the BGH (Federal Court of Justice), the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), and the UPC (Unified Patent Court) are described in this book.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書描述了德國專利及商標局(German Patent and Trade Mark Office)和歐洲專利局(European Patent Office)官方的專利授予程序,並提供實用指導以實現快速的專利授予。如果專利授予不成功,專利局的拒絕決定可以通過所謂的「申請人上訴」(applicant's appeal)進行挑戰。現有的第三方專利可以在異議期間內通過異議程序進行挑戰。在異議期間結束後,可以向聯邦專利法院(Federal Patent Court)請求宣告第三方專利無效。無效上訴程序在卡爾斯魯厄的聯邦最高法院(Federal Court of Justice)進行。此外,還有針對實用新型、商標和設計權的官方撤銷程序。本書中描述了所有這些在德國專利及商標局(DPMA)、歐洲專利局(EPO)、聯邦專利法院(BPatG)、聯邦最高法院(BGH)、歐盟知識產權局(EUIPO)和統一專利法院(UPC)進行的程序。
