最近想到一个问题 想请教一下各位先进 IDS 的责任期间为何? 目前查到的资料是: 若前案(PA)在核准後、领证前出现 则自PA出现後3个月内可以提交IDS而不用提RCE 亦即领证前出现的PR基本上都要提交PTO(?) 但敝人的问题在於 领证後呢? 领证後有提交IDS的义务吗? § 1.56 Duty to disclose information material to patentability. Each individual associated with the filing and prosecution of a patent application has a duty of candor and good faith in dealing with the Office, which includes a duty to disclose to the Office all information known to that individual to be material to patentability as defined in this section. The duty to disclose information exists with respect to each pending claim until the claim is cancelled or withdrawn from consideration, or the application becomes abandoned. 提出专利申请者....具有揭露可能影响该案专利性之己知文件之义务 该义务於 CLAIM被撤回、除消、或申请案被放弃时 方为中止 领证 好像不太符合上开 被撤回、除消、或申请被放弃 的要件... 另外上开要件好像又不以申请期间为限? 搞不懂 (．＿．?) 故此 想请教一下各位先进 美国专利在领证後 申请人是否具提交IDS之义务? 若具有相关义务 又没执行的话 是否得以为主张专利无效之理由? 以上 敬请先进们助为解惑 谢谢 --
