【摘要】 等同原则是为了解决专利实质侵权而出现的判定原则,等同原则的适用为保护专利权人的利益提供了巨大的帮助。但是,随着专利申请量和专利侵权纠纷案件数量的日益增加,等同原则其本身固有的缺陷变得越来越难以被忽视,专利权人利用等同原则侵蚀公共利益的威胁也随之升高。为了缓解这种矛盾,促使等同原则能够更好的为《专利法》服务,就必须努力克服等同原则的局限。本文主要通过五个部分来论述对等同原则局限的克服。第一部分为绪论,主要介绍了国内外对于等同原则及其限制的研究综述。重点整理、概括了学界对等同原则在适用过程中出现的问题的争议点,以及为克服等同原则的缺陷而对等同原则的适用进行限制的手段的分析和研究。第二部分介绍了等同原则的涵义、理论渊源和发展现状。重点对等同原则现今的适用规则和标准的选取作出了解释,并对法律为作明确规定的部分等同认定的标准提出了自己的观点和解释。第三部分阐释了等同原则的本质,即是对权利要求的一种解释方法,介绍了出现这种解释方法的原因。之后通过对专利法价值追求的阐述,揭示出等同原则的局限产生的缘由。第四部分是对等同原则局限进行克服的方法和手段。首先介绍克服手段的种类,然后对限制等同原则适用的手段——公知技术抗辩、禁止反悔原则、捐献原则和特意排除规则,以及这些限制手段在适用过程中的所出现的问题进行分析推理。之后对等同原则在美国的消亡进行了介绍并提出了对该现象的理解。第五部分是对等同原则的适用范围的划分和在程序上出现的问题提供解决方案。

【Abstract】 The doctrine of equivalents is to solve the determination principle of patent infringement, the doctrine of equivalents is of great help for the protection of the interests of the patent owner. However, with the patent application and patent infringement dispute case quantity increasing, the doctrine of equivalents of the intrinsic defects become more and more difficult to ignore, the patentee using equivalent principle of public interest the threat of erosion increased. In order to alleviate this contradiction, it is necessary to make efforts to overcome the limitation of the doctrine of equivalents in the "patent law".This paper mainly discusses the limitation of the equivalent principle through five parts. The first part is the introduction, mainly introduces the domestic and foreign research on the principle of equivalence and its limitations. In order to summarize the disputes of the problems that arise in the application of the doctrine of equivalents, and to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents in order to overcome the limitations of the doctrine of equivalents.The second part introduces the meaning of the doctrine of equivalents, theoretical origin and development of the status quo. Focus on the principles of the equivalent of today’s application of rules and standards to explain, and the law as a part of the identification of the equivalent identified standards put forward their own point of view and interpretation.In the third part, it explains the essence of the doctrine of equivalents, that is, an explanation of the claim of the right. Then, through the elaboration of the value pursuit of the patent law, the reason of the limitation of the doctrine of equivalents is revealed.The fourth part is the methods and means to overcome the limitations of the same principle. First introduces kinds of means to overcome, then to limit the equivalent principles applicable means-- known prior art defense, principle of estoppel, principles of contribution and specifically exclude rules, and these restrictions in the application of the problem of analytical reasoning. After that, the demise of the doctrine of equivalents in the United States is introduced and an understanding of this phenomenon is presented.The fifth part is about the scope of the application of the principle of the division and the problems in the program to provide solutions.
