Hands-on Workshop: Overcome Rejections Under 35 U.S.C. §103
相較於其他國家的專利進步性審查，美國專利法第103條規定在概念上有其特殊之處，Quintero 搭配實際案例，深入淺出解說「顯而易見性」的核駁法律依據、實務參照標準 、申請案常見疏失、核駁後因應方式等課題。
Compared with the non-obviousness (inventive step) requirement for patentability in other countries, the 35 U.S.C. §103 determines obviousness in its own unique way. Quintero explained the legal and practical frameworks of obviousness rejections, in simple language, as well as the practical framework of response to obviousness rejections, and common errors or pitfalls in responses to obviousness rejections.
在後續小組討論時間，Quintero 準備了專利個案文件—說明書、書面審查意見、修正申請書、發證公告內容等資料，讓在場練習從「缺乏先前技術可組合之合理性」、「非合理預期之成功」、「先前技術不相關」及「非預期結果」等角度進行答辯，並給予即時指導及講評。 多家本所長期合作的研發型企業也派員參與研討，與所內專利工程師多有交流。
Later in the group exercise session, Quintero prepared previous pending cases for participants to practice their responses to office actions with different rebuttal evidence, such as “No reasonable rationale to combine”, “No reasonable expectation of success”, “ Non-analogous art”, “Unexpected results”, etc.
Workshop attendees were patent professionals from Top Team’s long-time clients, along with our in-house patent engineers.
