主要的专利侵权案件包括Markman v.Westview Instruments,Inc.(1996年)和Graver Tank&;制造公司诉林德空气产品公司(1950年)。在Markman判决之前,陪审团必须解释专利中使用的语言。马克曼之后,法官开始负责决定如何定义关键术语。更严重的判决创造了两种判断某人是否违反专利的方法。这些重大专利侵权案件由美国最高法院裁决。
要了解这些重大专利侵权案件,了解一项发明可以是一种设备或一种工艺是很有帮助的。过程是执行任务的系统方法。要获得专利,一个人必须向描述该发明的政府专利局提交申请。本发明的描述称为权利要求。如果专利被授予,法律将保护专利中包含的权利要求。
马克曼案剥夺了陪审团解释描述一项发明的关键术语的责任。这就是马克曼被认定为重大专利侵权案件之一的原因。因为马克曼,法官现在负责决定专利中某些术语的含义,而不是陪审团。因此,法院现在进行Markman听证会,对专利中使用的特定条款做出裁决。听证会的目的是让诉讼各方都有机会说服法官接受其对关键术语的定义。。
一系列重大专利侵权案件也可能包括更严重的判决。在格拉弗,最高法院创造了两种方法来判定某人是否违反了专利。对于第一种方法,法院解释说,如果两项发明以相同的方式做相同的事情,并得到相同的结果,那么这些发明是相同的。如果发明是相同的,就存在专利侵权。发明是否有不同的名称、形式或形状并不重要。
在第二种方法中,法院审查一个人对一项发明所做的改变。如果变化很小或无关紧要,那么法院可能会发现专利侵权。更严重的判决引起了争议,因为批评者认为它将保护范围扩大到了专利的原始权利要求之外。尽管如此,格雷弗还是列上了重大专利侵权案件的榜单,因为它创造了判断某人是否侵犯专利的新方法。
