特許異議申請制度에 관한 硏究 = (The) study on the opposition to the patent granted

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This thesis relates to the opposition to the patent granted(hereinafter referred to as "the patent opposition"), especially to problems in the carrying out thereof.
The patent opposition is appeal procedure to the grant of the patent that has deficiency in patentability. To make incompleteness of examination, most of country has the patent opposition procedure, including European Patent Office(EPO), Japan, US.
There are two types of the patent opposition; post-grant opposition and pre-grant opposition. Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) had converted " pre-grant opposition" into "post-grant opposition" in the wake of the major patent office(USPTO,EPO,JPO etc). This change raise some confusion in practice because the collegial boby of ezaminers have ever examined the patent opposition in Korea.
Within three months from the publication of the mention of grant of the grant, "any person" may file in a written opposition the Korean patent granted. In this provision, "any person" should exclude patent proprietor because his patent opposition is agarinst "estoppel".
To extent of the examinaion, the Korean patent law declare that examination be restricted to the contested claims. Because the patent opposition is traditional revocation procedure, examination should not be restricted to the grounds for opposition and the claims, provided their validity is prima facie in doubt on the basis of already available information.
And exanminer who had participated the grant of that patent should be excluded the collegical body of examiners. Consequently, to solve the confusion of the Korean patent opposition, rearrangement of provision and practice is necessary.
