挺热闹的,的确是理越辩越明啊。
其实对于一个问题,不同的审查员也会有不同的看法。争论也会很激烈。这是很正常的。
不过,个别网友的言论就错误的有点太离谱了,终于在众人的一致反对下收敛点了。
借此奉劝那些没有实践经验的网友,读了点法律书,就以为高人一等,发些奇谈怪论,殊为不妥啊。本版的网友很多是新人,怕是会误人呢。
下面是欧专局关于分案的部分规定,仅做参考:
9.1.4 Examination of a divisional application
The substantive examination of a divisional application should in principle
be carried out as for any other application but the following special points
need to be considered. The claims of a divisional application need not be
limited to subject-matter already claimed in claims of the parent
application. However, under Art. 76(1), the subject-matter may not extend
beyond the content of the parent application as filed. If a divisional
application as filed contains subject-matter additional to that contained in
the parent application as filed and the applicant is unwilling to remedy this
defect by removal of that additional subject-matter, the divisional
application must be refused under Art. 97(1) due to non-compliance with
Art. 76(1). It cannot be converted into an independent application taking
its own filing date. Moreover, a further divisional application for this
additional subject-matter should also be refused under Art. 97(1) due to
non-compliance with Art. 76(1).
Amendments made to a divisional application subsequent to its filing must
comply with the requirements of Art. 123(2), i.e. they may not extend the
subject-matter beyond the content of the divisional application as filed
(see T 873/94, OJ 10/1997, 456).
If the subject-matter of a divisional application is restricted to only a part of
the subject-matter claimed in the parent application, this part of the
subject-matter must be directly and unambiguously derivable from the
parent application as being a separate part or entity, i.e. one which can
even be used outside the context of the invention of the parent application
(see T 545/92, not published in OJ). |
