    USPTO Proposes New Measure to Improve Patent Quality and Reduce Pendency.

   The Department of Commerce’s United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is proposing new rules in the Federal Register that will improve an examiner’s ability to focus the examination process for claims that contain more than one independent and distinct invention.  

   “We believe such a rule change will lead to a more focused examination process that will effectively promote innovation,” noted Commissioner for Patents John Doll.  

   The proposed rules focus on the current practice of listing multiple inventions in the alternative in a single claim.  Such “multi-invention alternative” claims are especially prevalent in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology fields.  The USPTO is proposing rules that would require applicants to identify, with more specificity, the claimed invention to be examined, thus promoting examination quality.  

   These proposed rules are in addition to the final rules pertaining to claims and continuations, which are expected to be published in the Federal Register later this month and are part of the USPTO’s ongoing effort to ensure patent quality, foster the examination process, and reduce pendency.   

   The USPTO welcomes comments on the proposed rules, as well as further suggestions for changes that would improve the examination of such claims.  To be considered, written comments must be received on or before October 9, 2007.  No public hearing will be held.

   The proposed rules are available in the Federal Register today.

    美国专利商标局提出了新的措施,以提高专利质量,并减少待批专利的数量。

    隶属商务部的美国专利商标局正在拟以新的有关专利审查的章程,这将提高审查员审查包含一个以上的独立发明的能力.

    John Doll专员指出：\"我们相信,这些章程的改变,将使我们更重视审查过程,从而有力地促进创新\"

    拟议中的章程着眼于改善当前的情况，即在一个权利要求书中列出多项发明.这种\"没有单一性的发明\"的权利要求书尤其多见于医药,化学和生物领域.美国商标专利局正在拟议这项章程,同时也希望专利申请人能给出合理的建议和意见,从而促进审查质量.

    这些拟议中的章程预计将稍后在本月公布在联邦文件档上，同时也是美国商标专利据为了确保专利质量，提高审查效率减少待批所做出的一些努力.

    美国商标专利局欢迎人们对该拟议章程做出评论，并给出进一步修改的建议,以利于对上述无单一性申请的审查.为了慎重起见，书面意见必须在2007年10月9日之前提交.没有公众听证会的举行.

    今天，拟议章程在联邦文件档中可以看到.

刚从事专利这一行，有很多专业单词不知道如何翻译，请大家多多指教！！！

Global patent applications grow by 4.7% annually
Worldwide patent applications are growing at an average rate of 4.7% per year, according to the 2007 edition of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)\'s Patent Report.
\"We have witnessed a significant increase in the use of the patent system internationally in recent years,\" says WIPO Director General Dr Kamil Idris. \"This is clearly one indicator of the level of inventiveness and innovation that is occurring around the world and signals those areas in which technological development is most pronounced.\"
WIPO\'s report, which was published on the website this week, looks at 2005 figures, the last year for which complete worldwide statistics are available.
It shows that the number of patents granted has increased at an average annual rate of 3.6%, with 600 000 patents granted in 2005. At the end of 2005, around 5.6 million patents were in force around the globe.
Emerging economies
The Republic of Korea and China recorded the highest growth in application numbers and the northeast Asian region continues to increase its share of worldwide patenting. Between 1995 and 2005, patent filings by residents doubled in Korea and increased eight fold in China.

全球专利申请每年增长4.7%

根据2007版世界知识产权组织（WIPO）的专利报告，世界专利申请正在以每年4.7%的平均速度增长。

“近年来，我们已经在专利体系的使用中见证了国际性地显著增长”，WIPO局长Kamil Idris表示，“这明显是在世界范围内存在独创性和创新性的水平的标志，并且这说明在技术开发中的那些领域是最显著的。”

本周在网上发表的WIPO的报道着眼于2005年的数字，这是可得到的完成全世界统计的最近一年。

其显示授权的专利数量在平均每年3.6%的速度增长，其中在2005年授权600 000件专利。在2005年末，全世界范围内有约560万专利是有效的。

新兴经济
在申请量方面被报道增长最多的韩国和中国，以及东北亚地区持续增长其在世界范围内取得专利权的份额。在1995年至2005年，由居民提交的专利在韩国翻番，而在中国增加了八倍。

Patent Information - Benefit or Burden?

Many studies have shown that, in Europe at least, the majority of small and medium sized industries, have either no awareness of patent information, or think it is too troublesome to retrieve - too much overhead for too little gain.

But what kind of incentive could persuade these SMEs that patent information is a valuable resource for innovation and competitiveness, and that patent information is easily accessible - via esp@cenet for instance?

We think simply that money might work!

We are actively promoting patent information as a resource for FP7 participants so that they can make better proposals to the EU and increase their chances of getting FP7 funding for their projects.

专利信息－获利还是负担？
许多调查研究表明，至少在欧洲，中小型企业中的大多数，要么就是没有意识到专利信息，要么就是认为检索太麻烦，认为太得不偿失．
但是什么类型的刺激才能够说服这样的中小型企业呢？让他们明白专利信息对于创新和竞争力是一种有价值的资源，并且专利信息很容易获得，比如欧洲专利数据库网．
我们很容易想到钱能解决问题．
为了FP7 的参与者，我们必须积极的推进把专利信息作为一种资源．以至于他们能对欧盟提出更好的提议和增加他们为自己的工程获得FP7 基金的可能性．
英语水平有限，献丑了！

Nokia files patent infringement claims against Qualcomm
诺基亚公司诉讼高通专利侵权
By Jennifer Davies
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
2:14 p.m. August 17, 2007

Qualcomm\'s ongoing feud with Nokia intensified Friday as the Finnish cell phone maker filed patent infringement claims with the U.S. International Trade Commission.
诺基亚公司，芬兰手机制造商，在这周五向美国国际贸易委员会提交专利侵权诉讼，高通公司和诺基亚公司之间长期争斗的局面再次激化。

In its complaint, Nokia alleged that the San Diego company was infringing on five separate patents in a variety of wireless standards and asked that the ITC ban against the importation of any chips or phones that use the patents.
在投诉中,诺基亚声称这家圣地亚哥公司在多个无线标准中侵犯了五个单独的专利,并要求国际贸易委员会禁止进口任何使用这五项专利的芯片或手机.

Analysts say Nokia is looking to gain more leverage against Qualcomm, which has been weakened in recent months by a string of legal setbacks.
分析家说, 在高通经历最近几个月的一系列法律挫折后，诺基亚公司正在寻求获得更多的杠杆作用来应对高通公司。

“It really does seem like it\'s a little bit like a blood-in-the-water situation,” said Michael King, an analyst who covers the wireless industry for Gartner Group, a market research firm. “It doesn\'t seem vastly different from their other claims.”
高德纳咨询公司负责无线产业市场研究的分析师Michael King 说, \"这种情况很像血水交融情况，与他们之前其它的诉讼法并没有太大不相同. \"
Nokia and Qualcomm have lodged numerous legal complaints challenging each other\'s intellectual property all over the world in variety of venues, from federal courts in the United States to the ITC to the European Trade Commission.
在全球范围内不同的场所,诺基亚公司和高通公司已多次提出法律申诉挑战对方的知识产权，从美国联邦法院,到美国国际贸易委员会到欧盟贸易委员会.
At the heart of the dispute is how much each company should pay for the other\'s technology patents. A cross-licensing deal between the companies expired in April, and they have been trying to come to terms ever since.
争论的核心是，它们各自应该为对方的专利技术支付多少专利使用费。原本公司之间的交叉授权协议在今年四月到期。自那以后，双方一直在努力达成协议。

Nokia wants Qualcomm to cut its rates, saying that its patents in a next-generation wireless technology called W-CDMA, or wideband code division multiple access, are not as critical as they were in early cell standards. Qualcomm predictably disagrees saying its patents are essential.
诺基亚希望高通削减收费,因为在下一代无线技术，WCDMA即宽带码分多址中，高通的专利不会象在早期无线标准中那么的至关重要.高通公司则不同意，坚称它的专利是至关重要的.

Qualcomm declined to comment, saying it was reviewing Nokia\'s complaint.
高通公司拒绝发表评论,并称它们正在审查诺基亚这项新的申诉.
King said it\'s no surprise that Nokia filed its complaint with the ITC as it recently dealt a huge blow to Qualcomm in June when it imposed a ban on Qualcomm the importation of new Qualcomm chips to punish the company for infringing on a patent by Broadcom.
Michael King说,这次诺基亚公司向美国国际贸易委员会提起诉讼并没什么可惊奇的。在今年六月，诺基亚公司就给高通公司一个重大的打击：成功地禁止进口高通新的芯片以惩罚该公司由Broadcom所犯下侵犯专利权的行为。
“It seems to be a sympathetic ear,” he said. “And if I\'m Nokia, I\'m looking for the most sympathetic ear I can find.”
他说\"这似乎是一种同情. 如果我是诺基亚,我会机尽所能寻找可以找到的最具有同情的票”

World Intellectual Property Day 2006
April 2006

Six years ago, WIPO Member States decided to designate a World Intellectual Property Day. Their aim was to raise awareness of the role of intellectual property in daily life, and to celebrate the contribution made by innovators and artists to the development of societies across the globe. They chose April 26, the date on which the Convention establishing WIPO entered into force in 1970.
The response has grown more enthusiastic every year, with ever more government ministries, NGOs, industry groups, and educational institutions joining the celebrations with new activities and events. This year the theme proposed by WIPO focuses on ideas, as the starting point of all intellectual property. WIPO has dispatched posters and promotional materials to IP offices and organizations around the world; and a 30-second spot promoting World Intellectual Property Day will be broadcast on international television channels.
The next edition of the Magazine will include a round up of reports from Member States on this year’s events.

2006年世界知识产权日
2006年4月
六年前，世界知识产权组织WIPO成员国决定指定一个世界知识产权日。其目的在于提高人们对知识产权在日常生活中的作用的意识，并颂扬创新者及艺术家对全球科学进步所做出的贡献。他们选择了4月26日，这是1970年建立世界知识产权组织公约开始实施的日子。对此的响应一年比一年热烈，越来越多的政府部门，非政府组织，商业组织和教育机构以新的活动和事件加入到这个庆典中。今年世界知识产权组织提出的主题聚焦于观念，这是所有知识产权的出发点。世界知识产权组织向全球的知识产权机构及组织派发海报和宣传资料；并且将在国际电视频道播出宣传世界知识产权日的30秒广告。
本杂志的下一版将包含来自成员国关于今年事件的全面报道
