摘　　要：案情简介姜案国家知识产权局（简称国知局）于2008年11月7日以权利要求不具备《专利法》所要求的创造性为由,决定驳回申请号为200510119526.2、名称为＂中水利用＂的发明专利申请。姜秀增不服上述驳回决定,于2008年1 1月19日向专利复审委员会申请复审,并先后两次提交了修改文本,专利复审委员会认为两修改文本相对于国知局驳回文本均扩大了权利要求的保证范围，不符合2003年《专利法实施细则》第60条第1款的规定，均不能被接受。Case briefings Jiang Xiuzeng case On 7 November 2008, the State Intellectual Property Of- rice （SIPO） decided to have rejected the application （200510119526.2） for a patent for the invention of ＂recycled water utilising＂ on the ground that the claims did not possess inventiveness as required under the Patent Law. Jiang Xiuzeng, dissatisfied with the decision, request- ed, on 19 November 2008, the Patent Reexamination Board （PRB） for reexamination, and filed, one after another, two a- mended texts. The PRB concluded that the two amendedtexts had broadened the scope of protection of the claims compared with the text on the basis of which SIPO rejected the application, and found it contrary to Rule 60, paragraph one, of the Implementing Regulations of the Patent Law as of 2003 and unacceptable. To save the examination procedure, the PRB made its examination based on the text rejected by the SIPO, and made the reexamination decision accordingly, finding claim 1 void of inventiveness as required in Article 22, paragraph three, of the Patent Law as of 2001, and uphold- ing the SIPO＇s rejection decision.
