【摘要】：传统的商业方法通常被认为是“智力活动的规则或方法”而不受专利法的保护，近年来随着计算机和网络技术等高科技的进步，尤其是出现了电子商务等新型商业模式，使得与商业方法相关的专利保护越来越受重视。商业方法在与计算机结合后被引入到了金融经济活动中，一些国际企业为保护其在新兴网络经济中的先发优势，开始就商业方法提出专利申请，寻求专利法的保护。1998年Stated StreetBank案，美国一改过去“商业方法不可专利”的做法，首次敞开了“商业方法可专利”的大门。此后，各国纷纷开始根据本国的需要调整专利政策，承认了商业方法的可专利性，并且形成了各自的专利审查标准。商业方法专利保护具有合理性，但同时要根据社会的发展水平来确定合理的审查标准。随着社会的发展，各个国家对于商业方法专利的态度也是在实践中不断变化的，如何立足于我国的社会发展现状与时俱进的制定出相关的法律是值得研究的。本文通过对中美四个具体案例的分析，得出中美对商业方法专利的态度及其审查标准，所选的案例之间反映了两个国家在不同时期对于商业方法专利的不同的态度，审查的标准也有所不同，研究的目的在于从中找出异同点，同时，通过对美国的最新案例的分析研究得出对我国的启示，对我国未来的法律制定做出一点建议。本文分为引言、正文和结语三个部分。引言部分将介绍写作的背景、目的。正文分为四个部分：第一部分，，界定了商业方法和商业方法专利的定义。首先回顾了知识产权界对商业方法提出的各种定义，并对本文中所讨论的商业方法进行了界定，然后理清了商业方法专利的渊源和概念，为后文的论述做下铺垫。第二部分，中国和美国各两个典型的商业方法专利案例的简介，所选的案例之间反映了两个国家在不同时期对于商业方法专利的不同态度，具有典型性。第三部分，中美商业方法专利保护的比较。首先结合案例分析了我国商业方法专利的申请状况与审查条件，由两个典型案例作为背景对美国商业方法专利审查标准的历史沿革进行了阐述，进一步对中美两国商业方法专利保护进行比较分析，从中发现两国对商业方法专利保护的不同之处。第四部分，通过对我国商业方法专利保护现状的分析，结合对美国商业方法专利的发展趋势的展望及其对我国的启示，得出对我国商业方法专利保护的几点对策及建议。
[Abstract]:Traditional business methods are often regarded as "rules or methods of intellectual activity" that are not protected by patent law. In recent years, with the development of high technology such as computer and network technology, especially the emergence of new business models such as electronic commerce, The patent protection related to business methods has been paid more and more attention. Business methods were introduced into financial and economic activities after being combined with computers. In order to protect their first-mover advantages in the emerging network economy, some international enterprises began to file patent applications for business methods and seek the protection of patent laws. 1998 Stated StreetBank case, The United States has opened the door to patentability of business methods for the first time. Since then, various countries have begun to adjust their patent policies according to their own needs, recognizing the patentability of business methods and forming their own patent examination standards. The patent protection of business method is reasonable, but the reasonable standard of examination should be determined according to the level of social development. With the development of society, the attitude of each country to the business method patent is constantly changing in practice. It is worth studying how to base on the current situation of social development of our country and make the relevant law with the times. Based on the analysis of four specific cases between China and the United States, this paper concludes the attitudes of China and the United States towards business method patents and their standards of examination. The selected cases reflect the different attitudes of the two countries towards business method patents in different periods. The purpose of the study is to find out the similarities and differences, at the same time, through the analysis of the latest cases of the United States to draw inspiration to our country, to make some suggestions for the future law of our country. This article is divided into three parts: introduction, text and conclusion. The introduction introduces the background and purpose of the writing. The text is divided into four parts: The first part defines the definition of business method and business method patent. This paper reviews various definitions of business methods put forward by intellectual property rights circles, defines the business methods discussed in this paper, and then clarifies the origin and concept of business method patents, which lays the groundwork for the later discussion. The second part is a brief introduction of two typical business method patent cases in China and the United States. The selected cases reflect the different attitudes of the two countries towards business method patents in different periods and are typical. The third part, the comparison of patent protection of business methods between China and America. First of all, it analyzes the application status and examination conditions of business method patent in China, and expounds the history and evolution of American business method patent examination standard from two typical cases as the background. By comparing the patent protection of business methods between China and the United States, we can find out the differences between the two countries in the protection of business method patents. The fourth part, through the analysis of the current situation of business method patent protection in our country, combined with the prospect of the development trend of American business method patent and its enlightenment to our country, obtains several countermeasures and suggestions to the business method patent protection of our country.
