章节 ================================= 2133 35 U.S.C. 102(b) ================================== 35 U.S.C. 102 Conditions for patentability; novelty and loss of right to patent. A person shall be entitled to a patent unless – (b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in this country, more than one year prior to the date of application for patent in the United States. 102. 可专利性之条件;新颖性及专利权之丧失 无下列情形之一者，得获得专利： (b)在美国申请专利一年前，该发明已在国内外获准专利或在印刷刊物上公开发表，或在 国内为公开使用或销售者，或 =================================== THE 1-YEAR GRACE PERIOD IS EXTENDED TO THE NEXT WORKING DAY IF IT WOULD OTHERWISE END ON A HOLIDAY OR WEEKEND 如果该一年优惠期系於一假日或周末屈满，则顺延至下个工作天。 Publications, patents, public uses and sales must occur "more than one year prior to the date of application for patent in the United States" in order to bar a patent under 35 U.S.C. 102(b). However, applicant's own activity will not bar a patent if the 1-year grace period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday and the application's U.S. filing date is the next succeeding business day. Ex parte Olah, 131 USPQ 41 (Bd. App. 1960). Despite changes to 37 CFR 1.6(a)(2) and 1.10 which require the PTO to accord a filing date to an application as of the date of deposit as "Express Mail" with the U.S. Postal Service in accordance with 37 CFR 1.10 (e.g., a Saturday filing date), the rule changes do not affect applicant"s concurrent right to defer the filing of an application until the next business day when the last day for "taking any action" falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a Federal holiday (e.g., the last day of the 1-year grace period falls on a Saturday). 刊物，专利，公开使用及销售必须於专利申请日前一年以上发生方得据为35 U.S.C. 102(b)阻却其於美国专利申请之由。然而，如果其一年之优惠期系屈满於星期六，日或联 邦定立之假日，而申请案之申请日系位於紧接的工作天，则申请人己方之行为将不会阻却 其专利(之申请)。Ex parte Olah, 131 USPQ 41 (Bd. App. 1960). 尽管37 CRF1.6(a)(2) 和 1.10 之变更系要求PTO 据37CFR 1.10以根据其提出申请之日为申请日 ，而根据37 CFR 1.10，其提出申请之日以美国邮政服务『快递邮件』之投寄日为准 (例: 投寄日为星期六)，其37 CRF1.6(a)(2) 和 1.10 之变更於『提交公函』之最後一天若於 星期六、日或一联邦假期(EG:优惠期的最後一天若在星期六) ，则其不会影响申请人之『 同时发生的权利』以使其申请提交之延期直到下一个工作日。 THE 1-YEAR TIME BAR IS MEASURED FROM THE U.S. FILING DATE 其(申请案之)一年阻却系由美国提交日起算 If one discloses his or her own work more than 1 year before the filing of the patent application, that person is barred from obtaining a patent. In re Katz, 687 F.2d 450, 454, 215 USPQ 14, 17 (CCPA 1982). The 1-year time bar is measured from the U.S. filing date. Thus, applicant will be barred from obtaining a patent if the public came into possession of the invention on a date before the 1-year grace period ending with the U.S. filing date. It does not matter how the public came into possession of the invention. Public possession could occur by a public use, public sale, a publication, a patent or any combination of these. In addition, the prior art need not be identical to the claimed invention but will bar patentability if it is an obvious variant thereof. In re Foster, 343 F.2d 980, 145 USPQ 166 (CCPA 1966). See MPEP § 706.02 regarding the effective U.S. filing date of an application. 如果一人於提交专利申请前一年以前揭露他或她己之作品，则该人(就该作品内容)不得取 得专利。In re Katz, 687 F.2d 450, 454, 215 USPQ 14, 17 (CCPA 1982)。如果(申请 案之内容)由其提出专利申请之日起算一年以前，已经成为公有财，其申请人(就已成为公 有财的部份)不得取得专利，而发明如何成为公有财则不为所问。公有财系可经由公开使 用，公开销售，刊物，专利或任何以上状况的组合而产生。此外，只要先前技艺和列入保 护为显而易见的类似即可阻却其可专利性，其二者间并不需要完全的相同。 关於美国申 请案之有效提交日之说明可见MPEP § 706.02 2133.01~03 明天补上. 敬请指导 谢谢各前辈 -- 聪明人不会因为没受教育而变笨， 笨人亦不会因受教育而变聪明。 豪语录 1:1 --
