trendide kohta.
– juriidiliseks informatsiooniks;
• Info lahenduse õiguskaitse kehtivuse, staatuse,
kaitseulatuse kohta.
– turuinformatsiooniks.
• Info riikide, ettevõtete äritegevuse kohta.

Leidsin patendi,
mis nüüd saab?
Aga see on ju patenteeritud,
seda ei tohi/ei saa toota!?

8. Patendidokumendid
• avaldatud ekspertiisis olevad ja tagasi lükatud
patenditaotlused;
• kehtetud ja kehtivad patendid;
• muud tehniliste lahenduste kaitsedokumendid (sh
utility models, innovation patents, petty patents,
short term patent, jms);
• patenditaotluste ekspertiisiaruanded.

9. Kuidas patenti lugeda?
• Mis tüüpi dokumendiga on tegemist?
– taotlus või patent;
– kehtiv või kehtetu.
• Mida patendikirjeldus sisaldab?
• Mis on patendis kirjeldatud lahenduse eesmärk?
• Mis on patendinõudlus (patent claim)?

Patent jargon in chemistry
• A composition comprising A, B and C
= a mixture of at least A, B and C, and possibly other components
Example: A composition comprising a solution of lactic acid in alcohol/water
→ Wine!
• A composition consisting of A, B and C
= a mixture in which only A, B and C are present
Example: A composition consisting of a solution of lactic acid in alcohol/water
→ Wine is now excluded, since it comprises many more products than just lactic acid,
alcohol and water.
• A composition consisting essentially of A, B, and C
= a mixture of A, B and C which may include further components provided they
do not negatively affect the effect of the invention
Example: A composition consisting essentially of a solution of lactic acid
in alcohol/water
→ Wine might be included if the other components in wine do not prevent the effect of
the invention being obtained.

50. Kuidas ohte vältida?
Kontrolli:
• kas operaatorid (and, or, near, not, jne) on õiged?
• kas otsinguväljad (title, abstract, claims, full
text/description; publication/priority/ application/grant
number; inventor, applicant) on õiged?
• kas andmebaas on õige?
• kas otsingukriteeriumid (numbers, classes, keywords) on
õigesti kirjutatud?
• kas on õiged märksõnad (NB! sününüümid!), patendiklassid
valitud?
• kas päring on liiga lai?
• Kas päring on liiga kitsas?

51. Soovitused
17.04.2013 Mikk Putk 51
• Mis on alternatiivsed võimalused?
• Mis märksõnu on lahenduse kirjeldamiseks varem
kasutatud?
• Kuidas on eksperdid selles valdkonnas otsingut
teinud?
• Sama teema kohta kolleegiga koos otsingu
tegemine
• NB! Salvesta otsingukriteerimid, uuringu

It should be here somewhere!

54. Patendiuuringu läbiviimise etapid
• Eesmärgi seadmine – mis infot on vaja?
• Esmaste kriteeriumite määramine
• Sobivate andmebaaside valik
• Esmaste tulemuste läbitöötamine
• Kriteeriumite ja päringute täpsustamine, täiendav
uuring
– Viited
– Sarnased patendidokumendid
– Patendivaidlused
– ekspertide arvamused
– omanike kontroll
• Tulemuste analüüs
– nõudluse analüüs
– patendiperekonna, kehtivuste kontroll

56. Mis juhtub otsingut tehes?
• tulemusi ei ole
• tulemusi on liiga palju
• tulemustega võib rahul olla,
asjakohased tulemused
17.04.2013 Mikk Putk 56

57. Kuidas, mida otsida?
• Probleemi põhiselt (millistest teistes
valdkondades/probleemide lahendamiseks on
sarnast lahendust kasutatud) – tulemuseks
erinevad lahendused samale probleemile.
• Lahenduse põhiselt (kuidas teised on sama
probleemi lahendanud) otsing – tulemuseks
sarnased lahendused erinevatele probleemidele.
• Kas kitsalt laiemaks või laiemalt kitsamaks?
