摘　　要：《专利法》第二十四条第(三)项规定了专利申请过程中他人未经同意而泄露其内容的,申请人可以提出"不丧失新颖性"的宽限期,虽然《专利法实施细则》和《专利审查指南》对提出新颖性宽限期请求的时机和证明材料等内容进行了规定,但并未对"得知"和"他人未经同意的泄露"等概念做出详细的说明或解读,而两者正是新颖性宽限期审查的重点和难点,直接决定能够接受申请人的新颖性宽限期请求、影响权利要求的新颖性和创造性。本文尝试通过具体案例的审查思路和审查过程对相关问题进行探讨,为新颖性宽限期的审查提供参考和借鉴。The item three of article twenty-fourth of Patent Law of the People's Republic of China provides for the disclosure of its content without consent in the process of patent application,and the applicant may put forward the grace period"without loss of novelty".Although the Implementation Regulations and Guidelines for Patent Examination stipulate the time and proof of the novelty grace period,there is no detailed explanation or interpretation of the concepts such as"knowledge"and"others unauthorized".Both are the key and difficult points of the novelty grace period,inviting the novelty grace period request whether can be accepted,affecting the rights'novelty and creativity.This article attempts to explore the related issues through the review of specific cases and the process of examination,providing reference for the examination of the novelty grace period.
