第 3 节
《Leahy-Smith 美国发明法案》(简称“AIA”)中订立了禁止反言规定,禁止任何一方在双方复审或授权后复审程序做出最终书面裁决后请求进行单方复审。AIA 还扩大了可在专利文件中提交信息的范围,并对美国专利商标局(简称“PTO”)在单方复审、双方复审和授权后复审中如何使用此类信息做出了规定。
如果第三方提交专利权所有人的权利要求范围声明,以及提交单方复审申请,那么该申请必须说明该声明是如何用于确定一个专利权利要求的正确含义。但是,根据 PTO 的规定说明,PTO 在决定是否安排单方复审时可以不考虑根据 § 1.501 或相关说明提交的专利权所有人的权利要求声明。在做出这一决定时,PTO 会对权利要求做出最宽泛最合理的解释。PTO 的说明进一步指出,下达再审决定后,在判断涉及复审的任何专利权利要求的范围时,专利权所有人的声明和请求者的说明都会尽可能地考虑到。
