1. 我與哥斯大黎加簽署加強保護智財權合作雙邊協
定經 濟 部 林 部 長 義 夫 與 哥 斯 大 黎 加 外 交 部 部 長 Roberto Tovar Faja於本(九十一)年十月十一日於經濟部簽署中哥 加強保護智慧財產權合作雙邊協定。是項協定內容除確認 兩國雙方將互相受理對方之專利及商標優先權，並加強 雙方人員交流、資訊互換及互利議題之合作。
緣 我 國 於 本 年 一 月 一 日 已 正 式 成 為 世 界 貿 易 組 織
（WTO）會員，依據「與貿易有關之智慧財產權協定」
（TRIPS Agreement）規定，原則上WTO會員間均應互相 承認彼此的專利及商標優先權；故我國過去藉簽訂雙邊 協定，來突破無法順利參與之多邊體制，以加強保護彼 此智財權之特殊國際情勢，已不復存在。惟經濟部表示，
基於加強鞏固邦交、促進親善交流、以及藉穩固雙邊以預 為多邊體制運作不順時綢繆等考量起見，該部仍將繼續 推動與友邦簽署類似雙邊協定。
我國除已於去(九十)年八月與薩爾瓦多完成簽署相互保護 智慧財產權協定(九十一年三月一日起生效)，目前經濟部 正繼續積極推動與宏都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、瓜地馬拉等邦交 國簽署類似雙邊協定。
Taiwan and Costa Rica Sign Bilateral IPR Cooperation Agreement
On October 11, 2002 Taiwan’s Minister of Economic Affairs, Mr. Lin Yi-fu, and Costa Rica’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Roberto Tovar Faja, signed a bilateral agreement on strengthening protection of intellectual property rights.
Under this agreement, Taiwan and Costa Rica will recognize the priority rights for patents and trademarks of the nationals of each country and cooperate in terms of personnel exchange, information sharing as well as other mutually beneficial issues.
Before Taiwan became a member of the WTO as of January 1 this year, it had had to overcome difficulties caused by lack of participation in multilateral treaties by entering into bilateral agreements with other countries. Now that Taiwan is a member, it will be able to rely on the TRIPS Agreement that provides recognition of priority rights for patents and
trademarks among member countries of the WTO. Although bilateral agreements are no longer necessary, the Ministry of Economic Affairs will continue to promote entry into similar bilateral agreements with other countries for purposes of enhancing Taiwan’s diplomatic relationships, promoting cultural exchanges, and establishing a bilateral alternative in case of problems with the multilateral mechanism.
In August last year, Taiwan had entered into a mutual IPR protection cooperation agreement with El Salvador (effective March 1, 2002). The Ministry of Economic Affairs is actively seeking similar bilateral agreements with other countries that have diplomatic ties with Taiwan, such as Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala.
2. 智慧局研擬國內優先權審查基準草案
緣我國於八十三年修正之專利法導入國際優先權，並在 審查基準第五章第一節制定「國際優先權」相關之審查基 準；而九十年十月二十四日修正公布之專利法第二十五 條之一復導入國內優先權制度，為使專利申請案之審查 能有共識及一致之標準，並提昇專利案之審查品質與效 率，經濟部智慧財產局日前爰增訂審查基準第五章第二 節「國內優先權」有關之審查基準。
該局並將於九十一年十月十七日及三十一日召開「國內優 先權審查基準草案」公聽會，俾博徵建言，使該基準更加 妥善。是項基準草案全文資料，可至該局如下網址瀏覽：

IPO Drafts Examination Standards for Domestic Priority Rights
The 1994 amended Patent Law introduced the international priority right system, and set out the relevant examination standards in Chapter 5, Section 1 of the Examination Standards. Subsequently the amendments to Patent Law promulgated on October 24, 2001 introduced the “domestic priority right” system through Article 25-1. In order that patent applications will be examined under a uniform standard, and in order to enhance quality and efficiency of patent application examinations, the Intellectual Property Office of the MOEA recently inserted examination standards.
1
relating to “domestic priority right ” in Article 5, Section 2 of the Examination Standards.
The IPO will be holding public hearings in respect of the
“draft examination standards for domestic priority right” on October 17 and 31, 2002. Full document of the draft can be found at the IPO’s website at:
