摘　　要：根据《中华人民共和国专利法》规定,专利的保护范围以权利要求书为准,但权利要求书终究要以文字呈现,而同一词语本身或在不同的语境下往往有不同含义,且权利要求书又有简要的要求,因此权利要求书的呈现并非都能尽如人意。在授权、确权或维权的实践中,争议点往往在于对同一限定的不同理解,各方基于自身的立场,观点多数无法达成统一。此时,作为权利要求依据的说明书,由于其不受简要的限制,甚至可以不顾行文的优美,便成为证明各自观点最为有利的工具。对于保护范围的确定,在某些情况下说明书所发挥的作用或更为关键,以此角度观之,权利要求书与说明书实则尺有所短,寸有所长。According to the Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China,the extent of protection of the patent right for invention or utility model shall be determined by the terms of the claims.The claims are described in text,and the same term usually has different meanings in different contexts,and the claims are required briefly.Therefore,the presentation of claims may not always meet the expectations of the patentee.In the practice of grant,affirmation and infringement,the focus of the dispute usually lies in the different interpretations of the same definitions by all parties involved.It is difficult for all parties to reach a consensus based on their own positions.At this point,as the specification serves as the basis for interpreting the claims,it does not require brevity or elegance,but rather a smooth and clear description.Therefore,the specification becomes the most favorable tool for proving their respective viewpoints.In some cases,the specification plays a more crucial role in determining the scope of protection of the claims.From this perspective,the claims and the specification each have their own advantages.
