摘　　要：我国现行专利审查制度中缺少对于申请人证明责任的规定,本研究意图针对此制度空白进行探索,使专利审查体系实现高效运行。基于信息经济学的视角,现行制度中专利审查方承担过重的证明责任,信息不对称现象突出,增加了审查难度,降低了审查质效,使一些问题专利因信息误导等原因获得不当授权。在厘清专利审查证明责任之内涵基础上,借鉴美国和以色列等国相关制度合理部分,提出我国应完善证据范围规定、义务不履行后果规定,并引入发明构思陈述环节等专利审查证明责任完善的可行路径。The current patent examination system in China lacks provisions on the applicant's burden of proof,and this study intends to explore this gap in the system so that the patent examination system can operate efficiently.Based on the perspective of information economics,the current system in which the patent examiner bears an excessive burden of proof and information asymmetry is prominent,which increases the difficulty of examination and reduces the quality and efficiency of the patent examination,so that some problematic patents are improperly granted due to misleading information and other reasons.On the basis of clarifying the connotation of the burden of proof in patent examination,and drawing on the reasonable part of the relevant systems in the United States and Israel,we propose that China should improve the provisions on the scope of evidence,the consequences of non-fulfillment of obligations,and introduce the link of presentation of invention conception.
