專利程序審查基準草案 經濟部智慧財產局於日前研提「專利程序審查基準草案」，並已分別於四月十七日及二十七日召開公聽會，以博徵雅言，俾立法參酌。所謂程序審查係檢視各種申請文件是否合於專利法及專利法施行細則之規定，依「先程序後實體」之原則，合於程序審查者，始為進入實體審查之先決條件。因此，程序審查在整個專利法的實施與運作中，有極重要的作用。 是項草案係參照現行專利程序審查之實務作業方式，並朝法規鬆綁及流程簡化之方向編訂。本草案擬鬆綁之事項如下： (1)發明人於宣誓書及申請權證明書上，及公司或法人之代表人於委任書上之簽署，不分本國人及外國人，均得以簽名或蓋章擇一為之。 (2)發明人無法簽署之聲明，於提出申請時為之，或於申請後始行聲明者，均不影響申請日之認定。 (3)發明人死亡時，其繼承人無庸再簽署宣誓書。 (4)審定前申請刪除發明人者，無庸再檢附經其他發明人聲明同意之聲明書。 (5)經認許之外國公司，其提出專利申請時，如逕以該外國公司台灣分公司名義為申請人，並以其在台之負責人為代表人，並無不可，亦不以委任代理人為必要。 (6)辦理讓與申請時，如有雙方代表之情形，讓與申請書及契約書或申請權讓與證明書等文件，公司（公司與代表人間之讓與）或讓與人（公司與公司間之讓與）應簽署之部分，如為股份有限公司組織由監察人簽署，如為有限公司組織由不執行業務股東簽署即可，不需再由其公司代表人共同簽署。 IPO Releases Draft Patent Procedure Examination Standards The Intellectual Property Office recently released a draft of the Patent Procedure Examination Standards.
