摘　　要：权利要求主题名称对专利权保护范围的限定作用取决于其对权利要求所要保护的技术方案本身产生了何种影响。文章从权利要求的构成和解释规则角度,探讨了主题名称的性质,且认为主题名称本质上非一单独的技术特征,其影响主要看是否产生了实质性影响,这可以通过专利说明书和审查历史等来进行判定。相似地,在专利授权和确权程序中,虽然行政部门原则上是要考虑主题名称的限定作用,但是其实际限定作用取决于对所要求保护的技术方案本身带来何种影响。随着代理水平的整体提高,在专利创新驱动社会发展和社会公众利益的平衡中,建议尊重专利权的公示原则,从而最大限度地降低整体司法运行成本并提高法律的可预期性。Limitation of invention title to claim scope depends on the impact of the invention title to the solution to be protected.This paper discusses the composition and construction rules of claims,and further analyzes the character of invention title in a claim.And it is deemed that invention title represents an abstract generalization of the solution comprising all the features defined in the claim rather than an independent feature.And the impact of the invention title on the claim scope depends on whether the limitation is essential or not,and patent specification and prosecution history may be used to distinguish the definition.Similarly,this practice normally will also apply during the administrative procedures in patent prosecution and invalidation.However,the actual impact of invention title to the patent scope depends on the actual limitation to the technical solution.With the improvement of patent agency capability,the doctrine of public summons shall be respected to lower social judicial running cost whereas improve the legal anticipation of the public.
