Description

用于分发确认指示消息的计算机系统
本申请是申请日为2006年5月2日,申请号为200680014807.4,发明名称为“用于分发确认指示消息的计算机系统”的申请的分案申请。
技术领域
本发明涉及确认授权的欧洲专利申请的方法,尤其是涉及用于向每个国家的欧洲律师提供确认指示的计算机实现的系统。
背景技术
目前确认欧洲专利的方法对本领域技术人员来说是公知的,且涉及很多在客户及其欧洲代理人(agent)之间进行的纸件手工处理。当前方法的一个缺点是,当处理链中的每个律师(attorney)处理文件时,他们向客户收取附加费,因而增加了确认费用。已知方法的另一缺点是,确认过程的实际费用不对客户提前公开,当发票最终到来时,客户通常惊异于高昂的费用。已知方法的进一步的缺点是,因为没有预先计算实际的费用,专利代理人不能给其报酬开账单,直到确认过程结束。然后他们必须等待客户支付账单,这通常花费几个月。
发明内容
根据本发明的第一方面,公开了一种用于分发确认指示消息(validationinstruction message)的计算机系统,所述计算机系统适合于与接口、说明书数据库以及多个欧洲代理人计算机通信。
所述接口包括:
适合于接收欧洲专利标识符的欧洲专利标识符接收器;以及
适合于接收国家选择的国家选择接收器,和适合于存储多个欧洲专利说明书的说明书数据库。
其中,当所述计算机系统接收到欧洲专利标识符和国家选择时,所述计算机系统适合于:

本发明所提供的上述计算机程序可体现在记录介质上,可存储在计算机存储器中,可体现在只读存储器中,可在电载波信号上携带。
附图说明
现在参考附图,以示例方式来描述优选实施例,其中:
图1是根据本发明的用于分发确认指示消息的计算机系统的结构图;以及
图2a到图2d是根据本发明的部分接口的连续示意性表示。
具体实施方式
图1示出计算机系统1,其设计成向多个欧洲律师8发送确认指示消息10,请求他们确认授权的欧洲专利。计算机系统设计成与接口2、说明书数据库3和多个欧洲代理人8通信。
接口2可采用互联网可访问的网站的形式,并具有欧洲专利标识符接收器4,例如文本框。欧洲专利标识符接收器设计成接收欧洲专利标识符5,例如欧洲专利号或公布号。该标识符用于唯一地识别需要确认的授权的欧洲专利。
接口2还具有国家选择接收器6,其可采用包括文本框、单选按钮、下拉框、复选框等很多形式来指定若干项。国家选择接收器6设计成接收国家选择7,该国家选择7指出用户希望确认其欧洲专利的国家。
一种接口形式可能看起来类似于图2a到图2d所示的接口。
回到图1,说明书数据库3设计成存储多个欧洲专利说明书9。说明书数据库可采用getthepatent.com数据库、Espacenet数据库或存储所公布的授权欧洲专利说明书的任何其它数据库的形式。
建立系统,以便当计算机系统1经由接口2接收欧洲专利标识符5和国家选择7时,计算机系统:
(a)从说明书数据库3获得与欧洲专利标识符相应的欧洲专利说明书9;以及
(b)向与国家选择相应的特定欧洲代理人11提供欧洲专利说明书9和确认指示消息10。
通过向欧洲代理人11发送说明书9和确认指示消息10,系统指示欧洲代理人在他们国家确认该专利。如果需要,确认指示消息也指示欧洲代理人11将说明书翻译成他们当地专利局接受的语言。可选地,根据说明书是否使用他们各自的当地专利局接受的语言,由欧洲代理人承担翻译的决定。
计算机系统通过给欧洲代理人11发送附有欧洲专利说明书副本的电子邮件14,可向欧洲代理人提供欧洲专利说明书9。可选地,计算机系统可将欧洲专利说明书存储在远程访问存储器15中,并可仅仅用电子邮件向欧洲代理人发送到所存储的欧洲专利说明书的链接。在一种方式中,计算机系统以加密形式将欧洲专利说明书15存储在远程访问存储器中。远程访问存储器可采用在线文件交换入口的形式,例如在www.projectlounge.com找到的。也可设想向代理人11电子发送欧洲专利说明书的可选形式。
当然,当我们说向欧洲代理人发送电子邮件时,真正发生的是,向被欧洲代理人控制的计算机系统发送电子邮件,欧洲代理人可阅读该电子邮件并且根据该电子邮件行动。
优选实施例的计算机系统还能够计算所有的确认费,包括律师费、政府费和翻译费。客户用这种方法预先知道所有的费用,且可给他们提前开账单。律师也可较快地收到他们的付款。
欧洲确认中的一个重要因素是翻译费。为了准确计算该费用,需要知道说明书中的字数。由于这个原因,接口2包括字计数接收器12,如文本框,其适合于接收与欧洲专利说明书中字数相应的字计数16。计算机系统参考查找表13计算确认费。查找表存储特定国家信息,该信息逐条记录如下费用:
(a)代理人服务费;
(b)政府费;以及
(c)翻译费。
通过将字计数16乘以存储在查找表13中的每字翻译率,来计算翻译费。可选地,字计数可通过系统,或如果说明书采用文本格式则通过计算字数,或如果说明书采用图像格式提供则通过对其执行OCR(光学字符识别),来自动初始化。很明显,因为仅仅计算字数,OCR处理的质量不是关键的,只要字间隔被准确辨别即可。
在每个国家的基础上增加代理人费用和政府费,以便得到总的确认费17。
一旦计算出费用,计算机系统在接口上显示费用。在优选实施例中,计算机系统链接到付款处理系统,以允许客户立即支付总的确认费用。在优选方式中,系统向每个欧洲代理人8分配酬金的比例,并以自动的方式支付他们那些比例。
上面的系统设计成减少与当前的欧洲专利确认系统相关联的纸件处理和律师费。它还考虑到费用的预先计算和开账单,使生活对客户和专利代理人都更容易。
虽然参考特定的例子描述了本发明,本领域技术人员应当理解,本发明可体现在很多其它形式中。
