Issued: April 21 2009
Main contents: The Opinion advises people's courts in their trial of patent, trademark and unfair competition cases.
To correctly interpret claims for invention and utility model patents and accurately define the scope of patent protection, the scope of patent protection may neither be restricted in a simple manner to the strict literal meaning of the claims nor may the claims be treated as technical guidelines to which free rein can be given, but rather by taking a stance midway between the foregoing two extreme positions (Article 4).
