the following issues related to the Interpretation (II)?
- Article 6 (claim
construction based on related patents): will the court ever consider the file
history of any related foreign patent on claim construction? If so, under what
circumstances?
- Article 7 (infringement of
close-ended composition claim): what is the rationale for excluding application
of this article to claims for compositions of traditional Chinese medicine?
- Article 14 (effect of design
space on relatively small distinction in designs): Could you please clarify the
meaning of the term “design space”?
- Article 18 (compensation for
infringement between publication of application and grant): Is licensing fee
the only permitted basis for calculating the adequate compensation? Will loss
of the patentee, profit by the infringer, or prescribed statutory damage be
considered?
- Article 25 – (unknowingly
infringing): This article provides
exclusion for infringing goods purchased from a legitimate source “at
reasonable price,” where the patentee may not be able to stop the purchaser
from using, selling or offering for sales of such goods. What is the purpose
of, and rationale for, this exclusion?
