发生专利权归属纠纷,表明此时谁是专利权人出现争议,在该争议解决之前,应暂停其他与该专利权有关的程序,即中止程序。但在实务中,出现了专利权人利用关联公司提出权属纠纷并启动中止程序以拖延其他正在进行的程序进程,例如专利无效程序的进程。这使得中止程序有被滥用的可能。本文剖析了两个实际发生的利用中止程序达到拖延时间目的的案例,针对这种情况,提出了对中止程序请求进行实质审查并引入相对方意见的建议,以完善中止程序制度使之免遭滥用。
The dispute over the ownership of the patent right indicates that at this time there is a dispute over who owns the patentee, and before the dispute is resolved, the other procedures relating to the patentee shall be suspended, that is, the suspension of the proceedings. However, in practice, there has been a process in which patentees exploit affiliates to file ownership disputes and initiate suspension proceedings to delay other ongoing procedural processes, such as patent invalidation proceedings. This makes it possible to abort proceedings. In this paper, we analyze two cases of the actual use of the suspension procedure to achieve the purpose of delay time. In view of this situation, we put forward suggestions on the substantive examination of the suspension procedure request and the introduction of counterpart opinions so as to improve the suspension procedure system from being abused .
