首先,是权利,不是权力
其次,这个说法也是很新鲜“是不是失去单一性要看新的权力要求2和3互相参照是不是显而易见。”,有没有英文原文呢?愿闻其详
还有这里“注意多重从属权力要求在美国是受严重惩罚的。独立权利要求超过3个也受严重惩罚。”,这个提法也让众多观众不明所以,大家都知道美国专利权利要求的3/200,5/25的限制,不知道这个严重惩罚是啥意思?
哈哈,看来浓缩丸是不能吃得太多。权利,不是权力,记住了。
35 U.S.C. 121 Divisional applications.
If two or more independent and distinct inventions are claimed in one application, the Director may require the application to be restricted to one of the inventions.
跟中国的规定一样,如果修改后的权利要求2和3代表“two or more independent and distinct inventions” 则2和3要被分割开。
这里有两个词:independent 和 distinct
MPEP 802.01
1. The term \"independent\" (i.e., **>unrelated<) means that there is no disclosed relationship between the two or more inventions claimed, that is, they are unconnected in design, operation, and effect. For example, a process and an apparatus incapable of being used in practicing the process are independent inventions.
2. Related inventions are distinct if the inventions as claimed are not connected in at least one of design, operation, or effect (e.g., can be made by, or used in, a materially different process) and wherein at least one invention is PATENTABLE (novel and nonobvious) OVER THE OTHER (though they may each be unpatentable over the prior art).
受严重惩罚是一句玩笑话,意思是说要另外付钱,而且付得还不少。独立权利要求超过3个,每个加USD220(110small entity)。多重从属权利要求不仅要按重数计入权利要求的总数,还要付USD390(195)。故为严重惩罚也。什么是3/200,5/25的限制?建议去查一下USPTO2009年度的收费表,以它为准。 |
