论我国《专利法》第三次修改与TRIPS的衔接

2008年12月27日，我国对《专利法》进行了第三次修改。修改后的《专利法》将于2009年10月1日起实施。此次修改是在基本上没有外界压力的情况下，我国自主进行的，共修改36处。从全球化及TRIPS的视角看，此次修改的意义在于：有关在我国完成的发明创造向国外提出专利申请程序的修改、发明和实用新型的新颖性条件的修改、强制许可规定的完善以及外国人委托代理机构的做法，都已经与国际接轨。这是我国专利制度建设的重大进步，也是我国知识产权法律体系完善的一大举措.

On the Connection between the 3rd Revision to the Patent Law and TRIPS

China conducted the 3rd revision to the Patent Law on December 27, 2008. The revised law will be effective on October 1, 2009. 36 articles and terms have been revised. This revision is carried out by China on our own without the external pressure. From the perspective of globalization and TRTPS, the revision is significant as it shows that the adjustment of the foreign patent application procedures about the invention accomplished in China, the amendment about the novelty conditions of invention and utility model, the improvement of compulsory license provisions and agency commission for foreigners have been in accordance with international practices, which is a great step forward in the development of patent system and a great move in improving and modernizing the IPR law system.
