後續研究建議

第六章 結論

6.3 後續研究建議

本文的研究係針對 KSR 案判決後一年內之 CAFC 及地方法院判決作階段性之分 析，由目前的結果顯示，KSR 案對於法院在非顯而易知性的判斷上影響並不大。未來是 否延續此一趨勢或是另有變化，仍有待後續之研究與追蹤。由於篇幅及人力的限制，無 法一一於本文中加以探討，但願意提供以下之方向，供相關學者將來研究之參考。首先，

USPTO 於 KSR 案後雖然修改了其關於非顯而易知性的審查標準218，但審查委員在實務

217 Allison & Lemley, supra note 9, at 208-09.

218 See note 71 supra and accompanying text.

上如何對專利申請案作審核，是一個值得研究的地方。其次，雖然本文沒有觸及比較法 的部份，但美國於KSR 案後之非顯而易知性判斷，與歐洲專利法之進步性(inventive step) 判斷─「問題解決法」(Problem/Solution Approach)219，以及日本專利法之進步性判斷220， 也值得分析比較，以作為我國專利進步性審查之參考。目前僅有一篇文章探討美國KSR 案判決對我國進步性審查之啟示221，數量稍嫌不足。若可以針對上述的建議作研究，相 信必可加深諸位對於非顯而易知性及進步性之了解，並且對我國將來專利制度之發展有 所助益。
