摘要
我国《专利法》第二十五条明确规定,疾病的诊断和治疗方法(本文简称为“诊疗方法”)不属于专利保护客体,不能被授予专利权。尽管我国明确将诊疗方法排除于专利保护客体之外,但业内就这种“排除”所基于的立法本意并不完全认同,而在实践中,对于个案是否属于疾病的诊疗方法更是争议不断。本文针对疾病的诊疗方法中的相关争议进行解读,重新解读了“人道主义考虑”这一立法本意,并由此出发分析出专利保护所“排除”的应为医学规律的诊疗应用而非诊疗方法中的技术改进。在对二者进行区分的基础上,本文给出了对涉及疾病诊断和治疗方法的可专利性判断的判断方式,并结合具体案例进行了说明。
Article 25 of the Patent Law of our country clearly stipulates,the diagnosis and treatment methods of diseases do not belong to the subject of patent protection and cannot be patented.Although the diagnosis and treatment methods of diseases are explicitly excluded from the subject of patent protection in China,the legislative intention of this view is not fully agreed by the industry.In practice,whether the case is a diagnosis and treatment methods of disease is even more controversial.Combining the commonness of the diagnosis and treatment methods of diseases and scientific discovery,this paper interprets the relevant disputes about the diagnosis and treatment methods of diseases and points out that the reason patent law doesn't protect them is because patent law thinks they're scientific discovery in the field of medicine,the diagnosis and treatment methods of diseases should be judged by the standard of scientific discovery.For the specific way of judgment,this paper illustrates with same cases.
