reduction to practice

reduction to practice 〈美〉(专利法)付诸实际;实现 指将发明人所构思的方法付诸有形的行为从而达到预设的结果。发明过程〔inventive process〕始于构思〔conception〕而终于付诸实际,故所谓付诸实际,亦即将发明人的构思通过实际构造而成为其实际功能形式〔working form〕。因此,就专利法而言,除非已经付诸实际,否则即不存在一项发明。美国专利法采用「先发明」〔first to invent〕原则,此有别于其他大多数国家所采用的「先申请」〔first to file〕原则,故确认某一发明是否或何时实现,在牴触审查程序〔interference proceeding〕中具有关键意义,当同一项发明有两个以上发明人申请专利时,可以此确认何者享有优先权〔priority〕。它分为两种:真实付诸实际〔actual reduction to practice〕与推定付诸实际〔constructive reduction to practice〕。前者指通过检测的方式将发明思想〔idea〕进行应用,以确认该发明思想可以达到预设目标;后者是指将发明或外观设计向专利商标局〔Patent and Trademark Office/PTO〕提出专利申请。
