针对程序上待决的任何欧洲专利申请或专利,包括欧洲专利局异议和上诉,都可以对其提出第三方意见。第三方意见可涉及可专利性的任何方面,可以随附补充文件,例如现有技术文件或声明。欧洲专利局审查员有义务考虑针对专利申请提出的第三方意见,即使第三方意见是在专利申请获批后提出的,即便申请到了后期阶段也可以重启审查。因此,第三方意见是影响欧洲专利局诉讼程序的强有力手段,如果顺利采用这种手段,可能会导致专利申请受限乃至遭拒,从而不再需要进行欧洲专利局异议。此外,在欧洲专利局公开发表的声明也可能用于例如美国专利商标局(USPTO)等世界各地的并行诉讼程序。
我们代理的客户涉及各行各业,我们的律师具有广泛的技术专长,从而我们的团队能够借鉴他们在各个技术领域的经验。经过多年来为客户代理异议程序,以及第三方意见,飞翰的欧洲专利律师深知如何应对复杂的欧洲专利局程序,帮助客户确定自由实施权。
