原《专利审查指南》(2010版)对计算机程序的专利保护方式作出了规定,为如何通过专利的形式保护计算机程序产品提供了审查指导。但是随着计算机程序在社会经济运行中所扮演的角色愈加重要,现有的计算机软件专利保护方式已经无法满足创新主体和社会公众的现实需求。为满足实施创新驱动发展战略以及加快知识产权强国建设的要求,《专利审查指南》对包括涉及计算机程序的发明专利审查规定在内的多项内容进行了修改。本文从利益均衡角度对上述修改进行了分析,并对计算机软件专利保护方式给出了建议。
The original Guide to Patent Examination (2010 Edition) provided for the patent protection of computer programs and provided guidance on how to protect computer program products in the form of patents. However, with the increasingly important role of computer programs in the social economy, the existing methods of patent protection of computer software have failed to meet the realistic needs of innovative subjects and the general public. In order to meet the requirements of implementing an innovation-driven development strategy and speeding up the building of a powerful intellectual property country, the Guide to Patent Examination amended a number of contents including the invention patent examination requirements concerning computer programs. This paper analyzes the above amendments from the perspective of balance of interests and gives some suggestions on how to protect the patent of computer software.
