Abstract
The purpose of the Patents Act is, through promoting the protection and the utilization of inventions, to encourage inventions, and thereby to contribute to the development of industry. Thus, the provisions of the Patent Act affect the promotion of the future innovation. In late years, revisions of the Patent Act are serious issues. In this presentation, a new system about "Exceptions to Lack of Novelty of Invention" is described. Also, in comparison with the systems of many foreign countries, the practical issues for international patent applications are discussed. Moreover, in late years, Employee's Invention is also one of the serious issues. The new system of "Employee's Invention" was adopted by the revision of the Patent Act in 2004. In this presentation, the stipulations of "Employee's Invention" are compared with many foreign countries, and the future revisions of the stipulation of "Employee's Invention" are discussed.
