Foshan 5 Ceramics Machinery and equipment Member companies have jointly written to china’s Patent Reexamination Board to gravure roller Printing This technology is the first to use the patented technology is not creative and innovative, technology companies are not Italian SYSTEM invention and several other key reasons, strongly urge that Italian companies in China received a patent. chinese Patent Reexamination Board formally accepted the application, this incident aroused widespread concern.
Causes: the use of the patented technology has already been made
It is understood that on Nov. 28, 1994, the Italian company China SYSTEM Trading Promotion Committee of China Patent and Trademark Office for a patent number 94118976.7 of “a glazed and decorated for the rotation machine” invention patent, October 11, 1995 the patent disclosure. The patent is Ceramic Industry collectively, the “roller gravure printing technology”, is mainly used for Ceramic tile The printing. With this patented technology, the Italian market in China SYSTEM Monopoly The “gravure roller Printing machine “Equipment Sell .
The monopoly of patents and sales of the company caused Chancheng Ceramics Machinery Equipment business outcry. Recently, Chancheng five large ceramic machinery equipment companies of China’s patent review board to revoke the patent application was accepted. The company believes that the patent is not registered in China before China Print And other industries have long been using this technology, the patent and therefore not a novelty, inventiveness. They strongly demand that China withdraw the patent department of the patent, to change the current Italian SYSTEM company monopoly “gravure printing machine roller” status, but also of Chinese ceramics and ceramic machinery and equipment manufacturers a fair market for manufacturers Competition Environment.
“Gravure printing technology in China have long been used, is now fully capable of Foshan enterprises own production and Jin Koujiao roll gravure printing machine at the same level of equipment, why spend this money wasted?” Involved in a letter to a ceramic mechanical equipment business, said the person in charge.
Survey: Patent threshold bind Ceramic enterprises Hands and feet
In ceramic tile production process, the printing technology plays an important role. The gravure printing machine roller printing machine than the flat screen Color Performance and work efficiency has obvious advantages, many ceramic product design process only by the gravure printing roller can be shown, Chancheng ceramic enterprises on gravure printing machine roller demand is increasing every year. Gravure printing machine roller
abroad in recent years the production of ceramic products has been very popular, there are more than just the Italian company. But in China, Italy SYSTEM With this patented technology for a monopoly, Jin Koujiao roll intaglio printing machine and accessories are expensive, with limited Building Materials And equipment import license, Jin Koujiao roll gravure printing machine has been in short supply in the domestic situation, Foshan only more than 10 powerful ceramic enterprises to purchase the device.
Foshan Ceramic Industry Lan, Secretary General of the guards that the Italian monopoly SYSTEM company not only increased the production cost of Foshan ceramic enterprises constrained domestic grade ceramic products has increased rapidly and affected China’s international competitiveness, ceramic products, ceramic tie Foshan enterprises into the hands of domestic and foreign markets.
Chancheng said a number of ceramic enterprises, SYSTEM company and subsidiary of expensive equipment is not perfect after-sales parts and Service Make it difficult to accept, production significantly in a weak passive position, this state monopoly is difficult to create a level playing field.
Expert: apply for a review of evidence to be sufficient
For the five companies SYSTEM patent application for withdrawal of Italy, Foshan City Intellectual property rights Ai, Deputy Secretary for flat view, Foshan company offered “the patent is invalid,” review of how businesses constantly improving patent awareness, if the evidence, reason enough can succeed.
His view, a technology patent, whether the device has the right to the invention, mainly to see whether the novel, three characteristics of creativity and practicality. The application for review, “the patent is invalid,” the key, Chancheng ceramic enterprises must provide adequate paper, image data, technical appraisal, etc., is sufficient to prove that the patent is not a novelty and creativity; on the other hand, if the gravure printing technology The patent in China before the first use of the ceramic industry, the Commission and other departments through the national patent ruling, the first use of the patented technology of units or individuals prior to the right to use patented, can be carried out within the existing scale and field production and operation. If you are printing and other industries prior to use, we must consider the process of migration to the ceramic industry, whether creative, investigation and evidence collection is a complex process.
