—Whether product manuals are to be considered “publications”, as defined under the Patent Law | | ——产品说明书是否属于专利法意义上的公开出版物 |
[Abstract] | | 【裁判要旨】 |
Product operation and maintenance manuals are usually delivered to users only as companions to the products purchased. Neither the product users nor those who come into contact with such manuals have a duty of confidentiality. Such manuals can be accessed by an unspecified public and therefore are to be considered “publications”, as defined under the Patent Law. This means that the technical details recorded in the manuals shall be deemed to be in the public domain from the moment when the manuals are delivered to users. | | 产品操作和维护说明书随产品销售而交付使用者,使用者及接触者均没有保密义务,且其能够为不特定公众所获取,属于专利法意义上的公开出版物。其中记载的技术方案,以交付给使用者的时间作为公开时间。 |
