2009年2月1日,《专利法实施细则》正式实施,这也标志着第三次《专利法》修改告一段落。回顾本次《专利法》修改,其立法本意在于希望提升中国的专利质量。在诸多修改中,有关外观设计的确权标准修改十分引人注目,而随着《实施细则》和《审查指南》的确定,这一标准的具体适用也渐渐清晰。结合《专利法实施细则》和《专利审查指南》的修改内容,本文探讨了《专利法》第二十三条的法律适用,详细解读《专利法》第二十三条第一、二款中的“不属于现有设计”以及“与现有设计或者现有设计的特征组合相比具有明显区别”的判断规则。另外,本文还对《专利法实施细则》中有关外观设计权利冲突制度做出的重大修改进行了详细的分析。该文的作者是《审查指南》第四部分第五章的撰稿人和统稿人,本文的内容也是笔者结合其在《专利法实施细则》和《审查指南》修改过程中的历次讨论情况对立法涵义进行的较为深入的解读。
